Darn it. I go offlist for a year and I miss so many neologisms I can't
follow the conversation. :)
Please advise!
BTW, Worcestershire Sauce (note spelling) is pronounced as if "Worcester
Sauce". "Marylebone" (forgive me) is, I believe, pronounced /ma:l@b@Un/.
Back to neologisms and onlist usage: until I rejoined the list last week,
I'd never come across "left/rightpondian" before. Where did that come from?
Oh, and it seems that emphasis is now marked with acúte or gràve, not
*asterisk*. I feel like I've emerged from hibernation and everything's moved
one atom to the right while I was asleep.
