I goes into too much detail for a dictionary entry...
Who says it has to be telegraph style? Wouldn't an encyclopedia-like entry do?

I'd feel a lot better about both E and I if not for the other...two near-identicals = both red herrings, scuttle the lot of 'em, says I. That goes for H, too. Unfortunately that also eliminates A and M, likewise B and J and K, E and F. Leaving only C, D, and L...

And then this was in today's newspaper, picked up by the Associated Press:

http://www.cmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050814/REPOSITORY/508140438/1012/NEWS. See Pargraph 2.

Gotta pick M. Even though I want it to be I.

Holy cow, this one's hard! May I abstain? Oh, never mind--I'll vote A because I like it.

Since I'm totally befuddled, stymied -- and wary of armils® -- I'm gonna go with L in tribute to the bizarre twist of mind that could have made such a leap.

Me, I say C.

Thinking back, I don't think I've ever guessed one right...hmmm, now I'm all a-flutter, should I just throw an imaginary dart and choose whatever it falls on, or stick with C just cause it sound good.

Ahh, what the hey...I'll keep it at C and cross my fingers.
