Default [Dixonary] Round 2792: ADUST - Final Posting

With just a hair of glitchiness in the voting process, hopefully all came
out correctly.

In round 2792, 2 players earned top spot with 4 points: they were Tony
Abell and Daniel Widdis. Daniel Widdis's definition "1. A judgment of the
Inquisition in Spain and Portugal condemning or acquitting persons accused
of religious offenses. 2. An execution of such sentence, by the civil
power, esp. the burning of a heretic. It was usually held on Sunday, and
was made a great public solemnity by impressive forms and ceremonies. 3.
Hence: [Fig.] The public denunciation or punishment of a person who has
offended the prevailing authorities." earned its author the deal, and Tony
Abell can heave a sigh of relief that "[Scots] Indifferent." did not earn
one more vote.

Mike Shefler takes runner-up position with 3 points.

The true definition was 5: "Archaic Burned; scorched." (AHD - 5th
Edition). One lucky guess just pipped me for a D0.
