  May I request a return (esp. to avoid CHIDING, which I eschew) to more serene ways
  and ask that you watch for this mid-November ...

  that became a de-D'd one ...
  and, as I used to say at the opera, I like neither the tenor nor tone(r) of that, so  ...

This is like pouring cement over Obama - you're setting a president. AND leaving us to grapple with eight letters, of whch only one is a true vowel - the two, identical semi-vowels aren't a great gelp, either!

Does one just pick any word in the above ten to proceed???  One letter changes, two letter changes, skips, additions?????? What is the current word, or maybe it would be time to start Anagrams IX?

i had one double-switch for symphony, synonym,  but it would probably been as dead-end-ish as my shopman seems (to me, at least). i wouldn't mind going back to 'rodent,'  only because i'm kicking myself for missing what (i think) would have been a clever one ...
  i thought about psycho-   and morph-   and several other variations on 'shopman,'  but got essentially nowhere so far ... congrats ro UK's Rhubarb ..
