>Is it just a very common mis-spelling?

it's not even a very thoughtful misspelling, as it suggests no actual or even hilarious words to me.

I wish my neoteny were more physical than mental.

Now, Angel, what is it that makes me think that renascent is extremely appropriate to you, hmm??

."the first figments of conception..." Like the guy who said his wife was inconceivable.

Why, Jackie, I was referring to nascent..as per my trusty, and never dusty,Websters:

nascent, adj. Beginning to exist or develop.

As I am very new to this board, I hope this is a satisfactory answer to your question.

I imagine, knowing the way my mind sometimes works, that somehow inhalation got mixed up with, get ready, into a brew of dilation, and came out, over the whirling years, inhilation--both expansion of lungs and pupil, if I've got my biology right. But my biology can be a whirlwind, too.

Yet I'm happy to have the correct spelling in my head now, along with crysalis and Cole Porter's music. Besides, inhalation is a much better spelling for poetic use, at least.

Frst Angel: I thought of making a mildly gallant jest by saying you have brought some "nascent oxygen" to the board, but when I looked it up on Internet, I encountered so many kooky health faddist sites, I decided against it.
