Hi folks,
First of all, I cannot explain why I thought there were so many fixes needed
for words containing "house", but Dave caught and fixed the errors in my
report. As always thanks, Dave.
Now: When does a word become a word? Even unabridged dictionaries (see
dictionary.com) don't have "eaglenose", but in a book recently I saw a man
described as "eaglenose". This shouldn't use the en sign so the attached
patch fixes it.
But this breaks "eagled", which is a golfing term that means to shoot two
under par. So this too now has to be fixed to include the ed.
Have fun,
--
