Geez louise, you guys! The word makes perfect sense. CapK's "example" is just a strawman designed to make it look like it means nothing; it merely misuses the word. The closest I came to experiencing polymentoricity in my educational experience was in the Chem-Physics course I took in which a chemistry professor and and a physics professor took turns sitting in the back of the room fuming at the irrelevant drivel the other was spewing at us poor students.

May your troubles be few and your blessings be more,
and nothing but happiness come in through your door.

May your blessings be many and your troubles be few,
May you treasure the day you made One out of two.

It certainly misuses the word, but I didn't intend the example to make it look as if it meant nothing! It's just that if I waited for an opportunity to use the word in context, it would never happen!

You mean it's not teD? You could have fooled me. Did you check his profile? He's mental, he is.

I'm shocking that ye think I'm someone else - there's only one GallantTed. The bestest bear in the lexical business. I did see another TeD here all right, but we're not the same person/teddy bear. I suppose that makes us a proper pair of homonyms or somethin like that.
