It is a rather nice word, I imagine someone mixing sage and onion stuffing mix and then conglobating it.

I like learning of nice sounding words and their meanings,

I remember one that I learned about and I made a first draft of a chapter of my second novel containing it so that I would not forget about it.

I did not know that one could add a quote structure oneself. Until now I thought it was a facility for quoting an earlier post in the same thread.

I shall try to use it now.

The quoted text goes here.

In my first novel I wrote:

Edith


Ah yes.

Good.

Thank you.
