I am so sorry, KHC. Are you sure that you don't want to try downloading another browser? It would at least help to diagnose the problem.

Sigh. I dood it again. Too many repeated letters and a careless transcription error. No wonder it's a problem solving it.

Should have read LUSUSIRITOL

"That was just to make it difficult."

As in
Q: What's green, hangs from a tree, and squeaks?
A: A herring.
Q: Huh?
A: Well, can't you paint a herring green?
Q: Yes...
A: Can't you hang a herring from a tree?
Q: Yes...
A: So there you are!
Q: But what about the squeak?
A: Oh, that was just to make it difficult!

I know there is "contumely"; does that make DECONTUMATION a word?

TITLIST CASA - STATISTICAL

(Re: "false comparative" above:
--comparative = take the original, add "-er" meaning even more so, as in "big, bigger"
--false comparative - same form, but not the same meaning at all! Consider "glow, glower," "flow, flower," for example.
Maybe we should make a new thread and explore the form, if there's any interest?)

classic bee = ACCESSIBLE

I think we ought to exclude from False Comparatives pairs of words where the -er suffix means "he who...".

And I'm blocking the name of the word that is the start of the "xxxx-ive, comparative, superlative" triad. It isn't "nominative." Fill it in for me?
