Word of the day besides "murmur".
WG,
Do a "find" for "murmur" on this site, and you'll find many posts - nearly all by Rocket! Though, he was going through an identity crisis at the time ...

Uh huh.

In stark contrast to the egregious overuse of the words sackbut, tintinnabulation, hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, stultify, neamatocyst, toxophilite, autodidact and polymath.

If you suggest that it is the only rare word, you are hoist on your own petard!

By the way, if Bill Gates is a Bradbury fan, and he would agree to fund our board members' get-together, that would be a most welcome eleemosynary act!
