<Asa Lovejoy>Say what???
Since I can't resist a bit of wordplay, I lifted this from the SFGate website: De Cecco ... edits the Journal of Homosexuality, an academic peer-review journal that comes out eight times per year;
So, coming out once is not enough!?!?

wordmaticAt least it doesn't out other publications against their wishes!
Wordmatic
Maybe it's an exhibitionist?

<Asa Lovejoy>Another wacky SF Gate quote, this time a photo caption: Successful blastoff: The Russian Soyuz TMA-11 space ship, carrying American Peggy Whitson, Malasyan Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor and Russian Yuri Malenchenko, soars over Kazakhstan on its way to inseminate the international space station with new blood.
A bloody insemination? OWWWWWW!!!

KallehNot to get off the subject, but
eight times a year? I've heard of biannually, and 4 times a year, but 8 times a year? I've just not heard of that. When do the issues come out? September through April?
Also, I couldn't find a word for 4 times a year (quadrennial means every 4 years) or 3 times a year (triennial means every 3 years). Many journals come out 4 times a year so you'd think there'd be a word for it.

<Asa Lovejoy>Jerry, did you learn that in a
SEMENar?

jerry thomasThe R & D Department is hard at work doing seminal research on the forthcoming uprisings down south. One climactic conclusion has been published already ..... "
Compatibility is coming together." Vast differences are being exposed.

It's quarterly.
The Royal Statistical Society publishes its newsletter ten times a year, missing out July and August when many members are on holiday. Perhaps readers of the Journal of Homosexuality take longer holidays?
Note: holiday = vacation in US-speak.

tinman Triannual means three times a year. Note that
triannual can also mean
trienniel. Go figure.

KallehOh, for heaven's sake, I must have been tired, Arnie, when I said there's no word for 4 times a year. I write a column for a quarterly journal! Sometimes it's best not to get up in the morning.
