Gina,
Looking forward to your “reliable logical strategies” and continued inspiration you bring to linguistics. I’ve missed your lectures, so this is a gift!

Congratulations on your brilliant lexicology. I am expecially impressed to see that your computer skills are finally keeping up with your intelligentia as you’ve FINALLY moved up to a Mac.
An excerpt from the Oxford English Dictionary on inaugural (actually inauguration):
[ad. L. inaugurtin-em consecration or installment under good auspices or omens, n. of action from inaugurre: cf. F. inauguration (-acion), (14th c. in Hatz.-Darm.).]
Best wishes for much success,
Nancy
Sherry and Nancy,
Thank you so much for your kind words and good wishes. Such comments are so meaningful coming from two skilled and dedicated teachers like you! And yes, Nancy, I’ve gone Mac and won’t be going back.
A good omen, indeed!

My goodness- a year and a month since meeting Melvyn and Pascal. You are amazing, Gina. In that short span of time, you have given birth to a great website and shared a wealth of information. I appreciate “seeing” your step by step process and the explicit path of inquiry that is a part and parcel of being a word sleuth.
Many thanks and congratulations.
