Dear friends: Ever since I rejoined the list I have been getting messages from you all containing the word "medireview". I had never seen it before, but assumed it was the latest buzz-word, of which I, being somewhat on the fringes of academic life, was ignorant. It was regularly used where I would have used the word "medieval". At last I saw it used in a posting by Patrick Nugent, and knowing him to be a decent sort of bloke, asked him what it meant. I have received this response: ---Bill,> > I have no idea. I went back to my original, where the word is > "medieval." > Here'a s guess: your mailing has some kind of spelling checker that > doesn't > recognize the word "medieval", advises you to "review" it, but then > forgets > the advice. But that's a guess only. Bizarre. Is this correct? Or is there such a word? Oriens. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
