Maybe there's more "n's" in it.

Cincinnati?

You added n's.  Why oh why did you take away a "t"?

Title: Re: Spelling ~B~

I just thought it suspicious you added n's but also dropped t's at the same time.   Also figured you'd guess again then I could tell you no, you were right the previous guess, and oh how we'd all laugh.

But you ruined it.  Ruined it.  Sigh.

Anyhow, your turn 'enry 'iggins.

Lovely word. Means "diplomat", basically - a very official one authorised to speak for his country.

The generalized version means "anyone authorized to legally transact business on behalf of another."  (That's how I was one once you see....)

So since no one tried to guess my sorta-given new word above ("excellent"  :winkgrin: ) I'll put up a real one instead:

Definition of the word, according to dictionary, is as an adjective:

1. Golden, gilded.
2. Elaborate, even excessively so.

Or, if it's "aurate":

A salt made by combining auric acid with a base, e.g. aurate of ammonia.

Yup, that's right. And it is, means "sooty".
Title: Re: Spelling ~B~
Post by: BFM_JANE on January 20, 2012, 08:56:13 PM

I have never heard of it and don't think I've seen it before either. And sooty is more fun anyway ;)

Yep, it's fortitude.

What proper noun?
Title: Re: Spelling ~B~
Post by: BFM_JANE on January 25, 2012, 02:09:37 AM

It was Kiwi!

But your pronunciation of fortitude is even worse that your pronunciation of lieutenant... :P


Title: Re: Spelling ~B~
Post by: jim360 on January 25, 2012, 02:15:01 AM
Actually the pronunciation I give is perfectly correct - it's the way I say "thought" that you should be going after :P (i.e. my inability to distinguish between "th" and "f" sounds).
