Nice recovery, but not quite. I was trying to lead you astray... (I can be very trying at times)

In the past tense I once wrote a youthful dectective story where the piviotal clue in solving the mystery was a pencil. I called the story "Lead Lead". But no one got it but me. Did you know that if you assign numerical value (a=1, b=2, c=3, etc.) to the word " tsuwm" you get 96 and if you use the word " sen'night" you also get 96? Jes' saying...

if you use the word se'nnight with an apostrophe (why would you?) you should realize that the portion you're eliding is the 've' of 'seven'.
jes' being pedantic.

Please excuse my lack of erudition. I saw that you had written "se'nnight" and me, being polite, I corrected your apostrophe placement so as not to embarrass you in front of your friends.
I was wrong, and I promise never to correct you again.
Please notice my lack of pedantry in not capitalizing your written remarks above criticizing my kindness .

Which definition you using?
a) trans. to put off until the day after tomorrow, to defer from day to day
b) intr. to stay from day to day, to make an indefinite stay
