I lost sleep over your "Peter Grimes" brought to you by Unilever until you told me to stop thinking too deeply about it.

A question: Are we on our honor not to check dictionaries for the word in question? I didn't submit a definition, because I found frist in several places in OneLook. Curiosity done me in.

back when points were been kept religiously, and the title of Hogmaster was coveted, I think it would have been bad form to go to the books; however, the play and mis-direction to accumulate points probably encouraged many to consult their sources. now, who cares, as long as you don't spill the beans...

Thanks etaoin - you have enabled me to blame my consistently pathetic performance on my over-developed sense of honour.

>Ah, yes, sjm...the Honorable Aught! Scusi, but aught is a libellous misstatement. Retract it at once, or face the consequence, joisey boy. Single digit score, peut-etre, pero nicht zero.

Dear all,
really very sorry about it: The contest completely slipped from my mind - we have a lasting heatwave here, limiting ourselves to the vital thinking tasks.
But my vote is A.

Kin I say it now? Remember, I was seriously considering this one, but:
J. The sand to gravel sized bits of colored glass which are used to color or decorate glass
OK, I can see the decorate part, but using colored glass to *color glass?
