I have coined the word pojise, meaning to read a classic book or play. It's changed for tenses like any other word (pojised, etc.) but remember that one who pojises is a pojiser. My younger brother made the word jacerise, which is to break a math problem into simpler steps. Signed jimthedog

Dear jimthedog: you have coined a word out of base metal.

To mix metaphors, jimthedog, did you coin your word out of whole cloth? Or is there actually some rationale behind it that I'm missing?
