Default [Dixonary] Rd. 2835: Acromion results

After a rough beginning, acromion was a fairly uneventful word. Tim Lodge
has won the next deal with 5 natural for his Greek building facade. Shari
Naylor is the real winner with 4 unnatural, based on her weird liquid.
There was one DQ after the deal from Judy Madnick. Dictionary earns a
respectable D2. It was the end the "spine" of the shoulder blade...who
knew that had a name?

So, take it away, Tim! (Numbering may be weird again.)
