Okay, this is driving me crazy. Who knows how to spell otomonapeia? It's not showing up on the Merriam-Webster site and I really want to know.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

There are a lot of words commonly used that you mis-spell, though. I'm still a little in awe. Shock and awe.

By the way, a good backup (if you're a Merriam-Webster fan) is Dictionary.com. Its not a very pretty site, but it gives entries from multiple dictionaries, and includes a great thesaurus to boot.

I was a big fan of the OED, myself. But since I was using BYU's access, it's been kind of pointless, since I don't have the hundreds of dollars to subscribe to it online.
