He also reports that he has used AWAD for anagrams in the past, but he wasn't aware, until now, that we had a word-talk forum by the name of AWADtalk. Perhaps he will honor us by peeking in from time to time. Who knows? We all love words and we are not reserved about promoting them fondly. :) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Report fr SF Chronicle #136584 01/12/05 01:23 AM Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 1,385 P plutarch OP veteran OP plutarch veteran P Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 1,385 I forwarded Linguists' phrase of the year: "Red state, blue state, purple state" from the Monday's Seattle Times (Jan 10) to the News Director of the San Francisco Chronicle online [SFgate.com] and here is his reply: Thanks, Robert, I hadn't seen that.
