Probably should have done 'turves' first? O sounds plausible as a foreign or archaic spelling of 'spate' but A. is also going with K.

I couldn't tell if this was a vote for A and/or K until it occurred to me that you often refer to yourself (somewhat solipsistically) as A. so A. votes for K?!

btw, I'd venture that turves is pl. for turf..

Me vote for "I".
A mere formality. My definition was so close to "I" that hogmaster tsuwm saw fit not to list it with the others.

Win - win.

I thought C at first, but I have come to H as my final answer.

Solipsism seems a bit arrogant, possibly better applied to a certain fuzzy animal Aramis knows. Perhaps there is some defense mechanism at work, for lack of something more convenient like being unpronounceable?

Anyone seen this site? It is impressively thorough. http://www.answers.com/
Found this funny point in it:
A critic would point out that many solipsists have died in the history of the world, and it hasn't disappeared yet.

Actually was guessing that but thought it could be something fancier. Hope getting more of these clever white text asides is not a bad sign.
