For instance, in my 76 years I don't believe I've ever heard it in everyday conversation, as "They had varied reactions to his suggestion." More likely in this usage you'd find the Type-1 "different" or even "various" Last edited by dalehileman; 03/26/2007 4:57 PM. dalehileman Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: omnifarious dalehileman #167192 03/26/2007 5:56 PM Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Vermont Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 7,210 Vermont varied is defiitely Type-1. formerly known as etaoin...

It happens nearly every time and often I become so distracted I can't remember what I was looking for in the first place. It's really embarrassing.
