You're right, Bill. I am getting a kick out of the sight. But according to Forthright, a phrontistery is a place (n.) not a discipline.

Thanks,

ayup...careful reading would have told me that the Phronistery is the list or compilation, of terms related to the inquiry...in both pages referring to the compilation as a resource....

(now I have to think up a short, pithy erudite appelation for THAT!...haw about "cyber peregrinations to Phronistery"?)...but that wont fit in the subject box....

Can't help but notice that, in spite of all the words, Forthright had nothing interesting to say, either about the words or about anything else--

Do you guys know what you are doing to my bookmarks?! Sheesh...time to dump some old ones and make room for more...the way you keep digging up the interesting ones!

Makes me glad, once again, that I had Latin in school. Thanks BillD and MarkClark!
