RE: [tips] Name that word
Since Thanksgiving day is also the day when more sinks get clogged--so I have heard, sorry Scott, I cannot offer any proof, it may just be a rumor :), I would say clogged sinks. Stephen, since this is your game, can I use two words?

Re: [tips] Name that word
Ah, sorry for the grammatical errors in that. And, more importantly, apologies to Beth on the *** JUNK MAIL *** designation in the subject line. Our system tags suspected junk mail. I have no idea why your mail almost always shows up that way, but if I reply, the reply includes that in the subject line. Not intentional on my part. Anybody have any idea of why that would happen with Beth's emails? We use Barracuda filtering software here. I turned off filtering, but it still tags messages in this way.

I'm glad you're laughing, Beth! Please don't have your feelings hurt by our spam detection system. I'm just trying to figure out why this happens with your posts. I most definitely do not consider your posts to be junk! I have no idea what's going on here. Again, apologies that the term "junk mail" appeared in my reply.

Re: [tips] Name that word
You're very sweet, John, to worry about my feelings. I think I should have said that my feelings were only "virtually hurt." I should know the vagaries of the internet by now. No worries!

I was hoping that someone would say "turkey" or "Thankgiving" and Beth obliged. Nope, not it. If respondents were super-logical they would realize that people wouldn't search for a word they know, they would search for a word they don't know. And the word is Go to http://tinyurl.com/ycex6rx whereupon all should become clear if you click on the link there. And if not, I'll be happy to oblige or, actually I already did, way back in 2002, if you can believe, at http://tinyurl.com/ydl5hkf For the real deal on the Google trend, see: http://tinyurl.com/yjhbq2g Stephen - Stephen L.

RE: [tips] Name that word
In the spirit of my students (who have so rudely abandoned me to eat turkey), if this was a test question, you would also have to give credit for the word turkey given the way the question was worded. Google Trends shows that searches for turkey also peak each year at exactly this time.
