Whenever I run across a word that has been back-translated in Duxbury
and is presented in such an unusual way, I am reminded why back
translating is just not a viable option. The word alacrity back
translates as alacrossity. Also, the word acryllic back translates as
acrossylic. Since the letters a c r come together in these two words,
Duxbury translates them as the contraction for the word across (acr).
