Hi:
>Very much to my surprise, Caledonia should use the e-d sign:
The problem is a rule in the table which says that "ed" in the middle of a
word, when followed by "o", shoudn't be contracted. This certanly looks like a
flawed rule, but I'm not sure what the right rule should be. Here, therefore,
are a few otehr such words I'd like your thoughts on:
bedouin
chalcedony
fedora
macedonia
pedometer
redolence
redout
speedometer
stevedore
