ooh, I'd vote yes to tansposing - it could make for some interesting variations that mean we don't get locked into common endings or beginnings, don't all you-all think?

Is dingey a Brit-speak spelling of some kind, I hope?Well, it's now an official American variant, isn't it? *************** I prefer the inherently longer, utopian game, but my guess is "y'all'r gonna need lotsa threads to keep this one going, so help yourself...

I've never seen dingey before, but I've never seen damn time spelled as one word before either, so obviously the USn contingent has adopted the "we don't need no steenkin' rulz" philosophy. As for transposition, I say go for it. All I reall wanted to see was where we would end up, which is why I suggested the Carollian addition. An exercise in psycholinguistics, as Hari Seldon might have called it.

Thanks, tsuwm. I did wonder if it was a variant of dinghy, but decided, wrongly, that it was probably a variant of dingy instead.
