Well, I agree with ann's assertion made at the beginning of this thread. Kindle is, indeed, a kluge. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Debby Franson Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 4:01 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: klooge Hi Ann! I used to think that "malarkiface" was your made up word. Is it really in the dictionary? I just looked it up and neither WordWeb or WordWeb Online found that word. It said: Sorry, no dictionaries indexed in the selected category contain the word malarkiface. You might try using the wildcards * and ? to find the word you're looking for. For example, use mala* to search for words beginning with mala, or *face to search for words ending with face Debby At 02:02 PM 10/5/2011, Ann Parsons wrote >Hi all, > >Not sure how to spell it.
