Pangram: WTF! No pangram! How did this happen? I don't know! Error.. Error..
I think a word got removed at some point, although I can't think what it would be. Anyway, today's puzzle definitely has a pangram -- I double-checked.
Which words have adverb forms? Why don't we have 'eglessly' but USELESSLY is a word? It almost makes intuitive sense -- I can generally say "that's not a word" and it's true. How do we do that?
LUSUS (n): deviation from norm; freak.
WUSSY and WUSS were really big in NYC in the 80's. Does anyone still say that?
