| This is a rare word indeed I could not even find it in my dictionary. But it is used as well in medical term as in " The anfractuosity of the mind or brain" which I find on the net. Which is synonymous of "winding". Thanks for the word Tami. LOA |

| If you look at this url http://www.thefreedictionary.com/anfractuosity you can hear how it sounds in English and British..Sometimes with new words i need to hear them to say them.. Stay tuned Tami |

| MyLOA, The word is very unusual. It also refers to any winding, crooked, twisted path, crevice, canyon. Also maybe used in legal terminology to refer to a convoluted legal argument meant to confuse rather than clarify. My sister and I like to compete with each other using words. I can't wait to spring this one on her!!! Camac, My friend, I am sorry to hear of your friends last patrol. TamiMcLeod, Come on , use it in a sentence! USN |

| USN; The CREPITATION emitting from him was most worrisome. Camac. |

| Hopefully this thread wont lock again lol Ok this weeks word .. june 18th 08 Luminosity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity many people use this word incorrectly.. Some people get luminosity confused with luminance. |

| His percieved luminosity diminished as the subject matter in discussion became more anfractuous. |

| Ok this weeks words June 27th Now i just had to add this one, just cause lol Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrn-drobwllllandyssiliogogogoch Meaning copied from the Dictionary The name of a Welsh village in Anglesea. In the postal directory the first twenty letters only are given as a sufficient address for practical purposes, but the full name contains 59 letters. The meaning is, “The church of St. Mary in a hollow of white hazel, near to the rapid whirlpool, and to St. Tisilio church, near to a red cave.” |

Hi Tami, I visited that town while in Wales actually a very small town for such a long word. Can't even think of pronouncing it. LOA |

| Ok, I hope you will not think my luminosity is dimishing, as I can't hear this because I still use Windows 98!!!! Ok, I hate to change, it still pretty much does everything I want it to, with some occasional needs, like now!! My office uses Windows XP Professional BUT I refused to let them change my computer. Maybe its time??!!?? Maybe not!!! They had to drag me kicking and screaming away from Windows 3.1 to this 98, now I gotta change again!!! I just changed 5 years ago, how many times we gotta do this!!!???? USN |

| You don't want to hear it man,believe me like I said even there and they pronounced it slowly to us couldn't hear a thing. LOA |
| Posted by: Camac 07-Jul-2008, 06:47 PM | ||
LOA; I listened to it and fell asleep before the chap finished. Camac.   |
