RE: [Dixonary] HOBSON-JOBSON defs
May as well get this over with. I'll try these (although there are a lot of good choices!):

Re: [Dixonary] HOBSON-JOBSON defs
Is this another case of the real def being left out?Â* I don’t believe any of them.
I’ll take 12 as the only remotely believable option, and 6 as the only other one I didn’t completely rule out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.

Re: [Dixonary] HOBSON-JOBSON defs
Hi all!
I don't believe any of these. Not at all. Then, I didn't believe the word either, so I guess that makes the defs good, right? My choices: 1 (to explain why I don't have a def in there *), and 11 (because I can) Cheers, Hugo * That is not the real reason. I'll send a separate OT message to bring you all up to speed on some recent health issues.
