Pandora Sonic Boomer Registered: 08/06/00 Posts: 43773 Loc: Upstate NY	Thanks manxman, missed that one! It's okay to use standard abbreviations like P for pitcher, but using S for soda doesn't cut it. If you go to dictionary.com and type in a single letter, it will provide you with all kinds of words that are represented by that letter. For instance, some words that can be abbreviated to an S are satisfactory, second, Saxon, siemens, sentence, short, signature, small, short, south.... _________________________ We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

CanukDenis Adept Boomer Registered: 11/26/00 Posts: 14168 Loc: Ottawa Ontario Canada	Outch! Glad it wasn't 10 lashes! In my "may not be legal" note, I was only thinking of hoo = water. Agree that s = soda is not allowed per dictionary.com; so may be a good idea to enter this rule in Lex's introduction; as example, Webster's not same as dictionary.com. In the official rules, it is stated/shown that the full answer word must be anagrammed; likewise, that the full answer word be shown in a container clue; however, we all anagram now and then a portion of the answer word; I thought we had all agreed at one point that this could also be done with container clues. _________________________ I'm just an imagination of your figment!

Pandora Sonic Boomer Registered: 08/06/00 Posts: 43773 Loc: Upstate NY	I'm not sure what you mean about dictionary.com, Denis. I just checked Webster's and they don't list S as an abbreviation for soda either. Not only that, but it's generally agreed that we'll stick to common abbreviations. Your second paragraph is confusing to me. If you want to manipulate portions of words, you must clearly indicate which portions first and then manipulate. I hope that answers your concerns. _________________________ We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

I realise that; I was simply trying to say that what appears in dictionary.com is not exactly what appears in Webster's. My use of s = soda is definitely illegal! >Your second paragraph is confusing to me.

Lex Addicted Boomer Registered: 03/07/04 Posts: 3843 Loc: Isle of Man	I am relieved to see that my own reservations about Denis's clue were justified, but it's always good to push the envelope and I thought that hoo for water was neat (and legal)!

Cue Adept Boomer Registered: 04/07/03 Posts: 10647 Loc: The Outer Limits	Nicely solved Denis. I was hoping that the word "wound" would be read as an injury rather than an anagram indicator but there's no fooling you by gum!
