wwh,
What have you not done?
Riddled with holes. Doesn't seem strange 'riddle' would go 'riddled' or 'riddled' 'riddle.'
And while we're on metallurgy, riddle me this: Does the term "shear strength" as in "Lifting the car off the terrified child was an act of shear strength," come from the term "shear strength" of in reference to bolts and rivets?
If I'd taken my riddlelin, I'd look it up myself. (apologies, I promise I'll get over it)
