  1. At least I don't feel so bad when I give up on a word and it turns out to be one I've never seen before. And being so lucky on Joon's word kind of makes up for it, too.

    1. Ditto, except for the "being so lucky on Joon's word" part.

    2. never heard of it either. gave up between calque and calumnious. apparently the only other word in that range is calumet, which i've heard of but didn't think of.

  2. Mike's word I've mostly come across in the plural: "laying caltrops on the road" etc. So after guessing the plural in took a while to get back to the singular...
