Good job, websafe! I thought of Emily Dickinson yesterday and couldn't think of anything to say about her. (Yeah, in my free time, you know.) Welcome to the Board!

I was willing to let it go, it being fairly minor, but, this is how I see it:At least Faldage is trying... ...as I said, I'm no expert on scanning but line 5 would seem to want "NOWadays we'd CALL it"You won't even attempt to plug mine in anymore...  ...although I'm with you, tsuwm/faldage, on "OEUVRE"... one has to at least have a chance at successful application (regardless of propriety, of course)

OK, Doc. What's NI3? This is such a great thread. I find myself with an Ohrwurm, though: I'm walking around trying out six-syallble words, and it looks like I'm talking to myself. Well, I am, but.

Sorry. "NI3" is Webster's New International Dictionary, 3rd Edition. I came across that abbreviation first at a venerable organization called the National Puzzlers' League http://puzzlers.org/ (teaser: my son calls them "a bunch of the cleverest people in the world" and he doesn't dole out such praise lightly) that delights in word games and all sorts of outside-the-box verbal diversions. Might be worthwhile to glance at, particularly for any who like GEB/puzzles/etc.
