First time "user"; amused by anopsia. As a neophyte medical transcriptionist 30 years ago, one of my favorite phrases was "homonymous hemianopsia" for the alliteration and cadence. Obviously this week's words have a medical background--a "busman's holiday" for me!

if past is prelude, the medical theme is probably either a) coincidental or b) a red herring. it looks like Anu is going with the old alphabetical letters theme. (of course, he could be throwing a curve as he's been getting very predictable.)
oh, by the way; welcome stats. : )

My WELCOME  wagon hasn't been out for a while, since I'm not sure who's a 'first time user' and who's a 'red herring', but since you said First time "user"; I'm going to take you at your word. Glad to have you with us, statwomanma! Think you should wander over to the discussion about where we got our handles, and fill in the gaps for us on yours...

<<<<homonymous hemianopsia>>>> - but what is it? is anopsia blindness in one eye or both - it's none too clear from AWAD? and does it cover mere impairment eg. RP or macular degeneration???

Let me add my welcome, statwomanma.
For a minute I thought "young" senior might be one to add to the oxymoron file, but in light of your bio, I'd say you're the real article. Hope to hear more from you.

Hey, Alex, was that just a long-winded way of describing the condition my mother always maintained I had - being blind in one eye and not being able to see out of the other, particularly when I didn't want to?  Welcome to the monkeyhouse, statwomanma. A very description nom-de-guerre, I thought after reading your bio. Five? Jeez!

Yep--my nom-de-plume (how do you say nom-de-keyboard?)is professionally related (and the 5 daughters equalled PMS run amok)! It was fun to get response; obviously there is more to AWAD than meets the eye--even to one not afflicted with anopsia--because I was off base about the week's theme. Now am thinking about prefixes indicating "without" or "away from"...but will keep posted.

Welcome, "stats", she said, adopting tsuwm's short-cutting. Johnjohn, you're back! [delight e] I'll be very interested to see this week's theme, myself--I can never guess them, though I love to try. Anu, predictable? Har!
