As to MARIONET, I would hope you didn't take that too personally. It wasn't really "ruled" anything, just someone pointing out an atypical spelling, as others objected to my use of proper names. If it had been my word I would have shrugged histrionically, maybe acknowledged that it wasn't a common usage, and either offered it again, or proposed a substitute, or just moved on to whatever word was at the end of the list...but that's just my way. I play this game for my own amusement as much as for the group's.

What should we do with GRATIATION? That's another word of no-more-than-marginal validity. Shall we use it, or chuck it, or go on from INSTIGATE ?
