I am sorry endymion6, but the past participle of
ATTIRE can't be made by adding a "D" because DATTIRE is not a word.
No big deal just change (I to L) and don't let it
RATTLE you

What Wolf? Do you live in ---> [color removed] SUFFIX England ?
Not a bad guess, since SUFFIX ought to be the singular form of the plural noun SUFFICES. But no. Endy got it. The Town of Titipu. "The benefit that I'd DIFFUSE" etc. is from G&S's Mikado. And Pooh-Bah is a title that you have gained and them outgrown if you've become a Carpal Tunnel on the Board. And "Sing Boo to you, Pooh-pooh to you" is from another G&S operetta, Patience. (I don't blame you if you're losing yours by now...).

...in six letters:
drop the C
"...But if I flit
the benefit
that I DIFFUSE
the Town would lose
Now every man
To save his clan
Must plot and plan
As best he can."
But, but, the Pooh Bear is English and English English as a rule retains the "e" when a sufefix is added. So please don't argue and give me credit for being a good sport. Just change the "D" to "X" and apologise and I will forgive you.

AFTERED Yeah goodbuddy. Back in the day the literati and thier fellow travelers fawned over Liz and Dick. Their F->L ALTERED phrasing and edu-chic quips were quite the vogue. And quite the joke.

As for renewing, I'm all for it.
Sometimes we've done it because we backed ourselves into a
corner.
If we have 1000 posts it's probably about time,
but I'll defer to my 'elder' (for time spent on AWAd)
wofa to do the honors, my computer ability would only
cause everyone a headache if I tried to do it.
What think you, Doc?
