ASSESS
BANANA
POTATO
GRAMMAR
DRESSER
REVIVE

"EMACS" is a text editor with a built-in LISP interpreter. (LISP is a programming language.)

"EMACS" was also the acronym for my department name in school - "Engineering Math and Computer Science."

I don't recall ever having seen the term used in any other way.

Have you tried checking with a forum that specializes in puzzles or word games?

I think the 'caps key' must be stuck smirk

mine did that once when I spilled a bottle of coke on the key board. The only way to right it is, to buy a new one. (key board that is..)

GOOD FOR YOU! ! ! !
And who makes these rules anyhow????
I NEVER GOT A BOOK OF RULES OR ROOLZ AS THEY ARE ON THIS

AND FAR BE IT FOR ME TO KOWTOW TO OTHERS' NOTIONS
JUST BECAUSE THEIR ARROGANCE DICTATES IT.

KEEP IT UP
