What is it, I wonder, that makes people post to newsgroups that they
obviously don't actually *read*?

I liked the bit about "museum quality" myself. I thought that was rather
sweet.

Ronnie McKinley's riposte:

> Yea, ambidextrous masterpieces.

You mean *multi*dextrous, don't you? Assembly-line-oil-painting-by-numbers
jobs, with one poor sod doing the clouds, another doing the sails, etc.?
Anyway, at 220 euros a masterpiece, we should all be falling over ourselves!
How can we afford not to? They'd look great next to the Ming vase, and set
off the Persian carpet perfectly.

Neither did I, actually. Perhaps I've coined a neologism.....Nope. I don't
have the complete Oxford Dictionary to hand, but it gets 40 hits on google,
and a further 77 with a hyphen, so someone else got there first!

No doubt it will be in the next edition of the OED. I recently read
"The Meaning of Everything." WOW, what an undertaking! I wish I
could justify buying it==the complete OED that is. I love antique
words as well as antique things,

No entry for multidextrous in the second edition big book, either.
There is a rather nice cite for ambidextrous, though:

Sterne Pol. Romance (1774)
"A little, dirty, pimping, pettifogging, ambidextrous fellow."
