Today marks the 11th anniversary of Anu's founding of A.W.A.D. Wow. I've been subscribing eight of those years. Now how old is this forum? Has it been five years already?

Yes, it has. I had to go verify it by checking my e-mail files, but sure enough, they go back to 2000. Wow.

Hey, I'm glad you remembered the day--thanks! Undecennary--what an odd word. It's a good thing for me that I checked the pronunciation; that helps. I looked at it and thought: un-DESS-en-air-ee; how strange.

So, Jackie, you and I have known each other for 5 years.

Btw, Anu has it as uhn-di-SEHN-uh-ree.

It's not even in AHD and I can't read the fine print in the OED....

Happy Fifth Anniversary. For your enjoyment, here are links the very first post and to anu's first.

Congratulations also to ASp and Jackie, who have the longest tenure here, with their personal fifth anniversaries tomorrow. Here are their maiden posts (how odd to see them listed 'newbie'). You've come a long way, ladies!
