  1. I've encountered oddities with your dictionary before, but today was surprised to see that it includes palimony but not paleolithic... but that's OK, it just got me to the word one guess sooner!

    1. that surprised me, too, but i just checked m-w and the new oxford american, and both of them had Paleolithic as a proper (i.e. capitalized) adjective.

    2. I was recently surprised by "amiga." I don't think I've found it in any dictionary without the capital A (which would disqualify the word).
