Dear Jackie: you are half right. Today's word, however, was a device named after the Earl of Orrery. So my post of a few days ago was the first about the astronomical teaching device. After years of AWADtalkers ignoring Wordsmith's words, it is only fair that he should ignore words we post.
It amuses me a bit to see if I can manage to make a post about each Today's Word. I admit some of my excuses are pretty thin. When I first joined, I used to post about them in Miscellany, since the title of the Forum,'Weekly Themes' makes it hard to post there, since only occasionally is the Theme named, and often too late. But AnnaStrophic scolded me about posting in Miscellany, so I started posting
in Weekly Themes. If I can't think of a way to post there,
my day is off to a bad start.
