The difference between the adjectival form of a word and an adjective for a word was clear enough for the rest of the posters. I guess I won't pay any attention to one quibbler's facetiae.

The difference between the adjectival form of a word and an adjective for a word was clear enough for the rest of the posters. I guess I won't pay any attention to one quibbler's facetiae. Quote: 2. and the rest of the posters are thus supposed to conclude we're dealing with yet another tedious vituperative little sock-puppet [yawn] Oh, by the way maverick, don't bother to answer this question. You've already failed. But here's your homework: facetiae: (archaic) humorous or witty sayings. quibble: (archaic) play on words.

Myridon addict Registered: 10/24/05 Posts: 557 Loc: Dallas, TX	Seeing the title of the post, my first thought was infamy, but all the other posters seem to be going for un-famous rather than un-popular or "un-well-liked".

We'll cross that bridge eventually, Fr Steve. I'm sure he's driving a Toyota, though: Troll is in a Cressida. _________________________ TEd
