Rely on key bounce for double "n"s. Not a spelling problem, a fingering problem. Had to look chiliad up! Do you eat dictionaries for breakfast (love getting to say that, it's usually asked of me!).

Let's hope it's at least 1,000 years before any more bombs go off. There are a very great many sin-sick souls, and I
wouldn't mind a balm, myself.

>Had to look chiliad up! Do you eat dictionaries for breakfast[?]
some days it seems like that -- finding new old, obscure, abstruse or recondite words for my wordlist gets more problematic all the time. <g> last year at this time I did a millennial week: chiliastic, millenarian (note the undoubled n!), bimillenary, eschatology, preterist. [if you early celebrants were wrong, we could still be looking at the 'end of days' 8]

Nice list, tsuwm. Preterist looks like someone who could be arrested in many states! (Not in Minnesota, of course)

??No, I think he means "chiliad" as in "Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes".
