    Thanks Nate, as much as I like pushing the boundaries of polysyllabic word usage I can't see me using this one much in day to day conversation.

    I do enjoy the new feature of M/A though, keep em' coming!

    I would never use jactitation to describe any relationship I may have with anyone. If I like someone, I will say so, if I don't, I will say so. I also promise to never be married to more than one person:D
