  1. Apparently I can't remember the alphabet....You mean there's a letter between P and N? Duh

    And Mike's word is new in my vocabulary; thanks, I guess....

  2. I've read that we actually have three vocabularies -- reading, writing, and speaking.

    Mike's word today is only in my reading vocabulary; i.e., I would probably recognize it if I saw it, but I'll never think of it on my own.

  3. pretty sure i learned mike's word only from crossword puzzles, despite my childhood fascination with the solar system.

  4. Good words today; I set a PB in the game. Both words were used as steppingstones, and turned out to be the answers!

  5. I am reading a complicated trilogy right now, and Boyle is mentioned. Mike's word may feature in it at some point--but I'm only up to 1714, and Boyle designed the device a bit later, according to the dictionary.
