Agreed on the Jeff point. He's perfect, and actually intelligent and understands the game too. I don't recall any other hosts ever offering a DC beater before (Jeff did recently with an 8 that I've forgotten) and he comes up with cracking words pretty regularly. Fucking bastard poofter melon arse. ...

I did say everything I'm quoted as saying but, umm, not in that order or context. The comment about "volunteering to help my department's computer lab" is particularly nonsensical, given that my department is the computer lab and I get paid so "volunteering" seems a bit generous...

I think the world would be a different place today if the letters DPFEOOTWR had not appeared and we got UMFFDIVER instead.

I always thought she was an editor with a commissioning background rather than a lex. I'm very impressed if you never struggle with Clive Upton's take on IPA (as used by Oxford). I'm comfortable with most dictionary publishers' versions of IPA but I have real trouble with Upton. I think many lingui...

Re: Say hello to Susie

One thing I do find a bit bizarre about Susie is that when a word is one she doesn't know she'll read it with completely the wrong pronunciation even though it tells to how to pronounce it in the entry. And she's a lexicographer! However, I know how irrational people can be and I know how wars star...

Three nines in a row

I vaguely recall a female contestant about twenty years ago getting three consecutive nine letter words. Is my memory correct, did this really happen? At the moment it seems we're lucky to get one nine letter word a week. Also, does anyone remember the Scottish lexicographer, possibly called Heather...
