Bill, I think your calendar is delitescent.
and what do you call that little restaurant that you can never find?
a delicatescent.
Tomorrow and its morrow are now delitescent, but be patient, they will get here. I am confident of that.
And just trying to post many new words, my count down may be rapid.
wwh:
If you continue to pile up this impressive heap of spelling bee words, you can work us all through the rest of the year into the new year and back again to mid-Novemeber, 2003, by, oh, this new week's end. Shoot, this is the place that shuns rules. Why should we care about trifles such as calendar dates?
Then again, you are the man who likes his watches to tick to the exact second, yes?
Lying hid; concealed.
Retranqueado.
One of those places gave pronunication that I have trouble accepting.
"oligophrenia" a word for mental deficiency. It give the first "o" the same sound as "a"
in "father". I'll be goddamned if it sounds like that to me. I pronounce it like "o" in "off"
"aligophrenia" could mean having a disposition like an alligator.
Interesting, wwh. The way I pronounce the a in father is nearly identical to how I pronounce the o in off. The vowel sound I make is equivalent to the a with an umlaut over it, I'm pretty sure, if the umlaut is the horizontal double dot sign.
Do you pronounce the a in father like the first a in alligator?
Sorry, et'

Youse guys is all alligophrenic. And fother is to coverwith a sail a hole below water of sailing vessel
to slow the rate of influx. My father was never used for that, or I wouldn't be here.
I don't mean to chop etaoin's liver, but do you have any words for this month, Dr. Bill?
My watch has three hands. The third is a little behind hand. Calender likewise.
At my age I wish the calendar would stand still. OK, so I finally noticed its November.
After getting so much good natured assistnace. Thank you both
I wonder how this word differs in usage from "esoteric."
Does delitescent convey the nuance of some pregnant action?

Dear FF: something truly delitescent might well be hidden even from the chosen few.
