Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11582 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	Say what?! This was a lead-in to an on-line article today, which further into it "explains": The illness Is called friggatriskaidekaphobia. (We couldn’t make that up.) Thanks to tsuwm for getting me to learn this word--the real one, that is.

zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Registered: 08/13/05 Posts: 3271 Loc: R'lyeh	Right. Let's keep our phobiae free from non-Hellenic roots. Not quite. I just prefer the sound of it. No accounting for taste. It was also the first term for it I ran across. It is nice to have polysyllabic synonyms, though. _________________________ Ceci n'est pas un seing.
