Sounds like a good idea to Me
Looks like you were right, Keiva-- all pronouns referring to Anu should be capitalized!

Did you perhaps intend "He" and "Him"? Yes, as a matter of fact, I did, and nearly put it that way!  JazzO, I'm delghted the idea flew. Have to put on my thinking cap, but I doubt I'll be able to come up with one that hasn't been done before.

Love this, Jazzo! How do we pick 'em? Do we keep a thread as sort of a "word bank" here on I & A for nominations and to avoid duplications?

Ohh--kay..., I just tried to Search these words (in AWAD, not here), and got this:
Glimpse error
The search parameters caused an error in the call to Glimpse.
Please try your search again with different parameters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Output from Glimpse:
I have no idea what this means!
Anyway, I offer two words, for the sole reason that I've never heard either. I got the first in a PM, and the second in its definition. Both def.'s are from Atomica--I haven't the resources or knowledge for extensive look-up.
tunicate--
n.
Any of various chordate marine animals of the subphylum Tunicata or Urochordata having a cylindrical or globular body enclosed in a tough outer covering and including the sea squirts and salps.
adj.
Of or relating to the tunicates.
Anatomy. Having a tunic.
Botany. Having a tunic, as the bulb of an onion.
[Latin tunicātus, past participle of tunicāre, to clothe with a tunic, from tunica, tunic.
salp
n.
Any of various free-swimming tunicates of the genus Salpa, of warm seas, having a translucent, somewhat flattened, keglike body.
[From New Latin Salpa, genus name, from Latin, a kind of stockfish, from Greek salpē.]
sal'pi·form' (săl'pə-fôrm') adj.

Jackie, I like to say that I think these are good suggestions - but I don't want to encourage you to go fishing for compliments ...

<confused look> I thought the idea was to link to past discussions about selected words, not just introduce new ones? (they *do neeed to be new to AWAD, and yes J, that seems to be the standard negative search result)

Sounds like a good idea to Me. -- Anuall pronouns referring to Anu should be capitalized! -- RapunzelThus all God-fearing folk are "Anuptaphobes"; we evidently erred in definining that term as "those having the fear of staying unmarried".  http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=51834

How do we pick 'em? Do we keep a thread as sort of a "word bank" here on I & A for nominations and to avoid duplications?I figured we'd all post our suggestions here and then, possibly in another thread, post our 5 favorites from the pool of nominations. If there's a tie or feud, I guess I get to make the final decision.  Perhaps a couple of the Hogwash words would be good suggestions. Some of them have sparked further discussion.
