Father Steve Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/06/00 Posts: 2788 Loc: Seattle, Washington, USA	Nobody much "gurgitates", so it makes little sense to say that a person re-gurgitates, when they haven't gurgitated in the first place. PS: This is my six hundreth post on AWAD since arriving here a little over 37 months ago. Might we have the smallest (but nonetheless sincere) fanfare, please?

belMarduk Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/28/00 Posts: 2888	HA. Do you realize this is the only place in the world where we'd like a little fanfare when we become an addict? Congrats FS.

You are now eligible to join Wordaholicals Synonymous. We meet online and before you can fully join the group, you have to admit "I'm a wordaholical!". Only then can you get it really bad ...

sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/20/03 Posts: 3230 Loc: Te Ika a Maui	>Might we have the smallest (but nonetheless sincere) fanfare, please? Well done, well done indeed. Tell me, though, is there is an ethical dilemma attached to a priest/judge who has an addiction problem? _________________________ noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html

Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13655	We got the word wholesale from the Medieval Latins and they gurgitated up a storm whenever they felt like it. Incidentally, the re- in this word is not acting in its role as a repeater but as an intensifier. http://www.bartleby.com/61/88/R0128800.html
