First, let me say this is simply awesome. I can't help but note some mildly humorous points; which should not be taken to denigrate or floccinaucinihilipilificate the value of this wonderful offer... They have classified Devil's Dictionary (by Ambrose Bierce) under "Language". I am sure it is a common slip up. I know for a fact a library I ran for a spell, had prior to me put Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland in the non-fiction section under mathematical science. As a more personal note, there is a very quirky synchronism at play, as I just noted this morning that moored in the harbor outside my window, is a cargo ship which appears to be bringing coal for the power plant there. The name of the ship: http://www.eslshipping.com/portal/en/fleet/m.s._credo/ Yours, Jussi-Ville Heiskanen P. S. I wonder if somebody who worked on my spell-checker has a sense of humor... doing the spell check, it made the suggestion that "floccinaucinihilipilificate" should be replaced with "antidisestablishmentarianism". Oh well, sesquipedalian is as sesquipedalian does. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
