Round 3006 PULLIKINS Results

[Tim Lodge]

I decided to run with this word despite receiving two DQs and three rather similar defs (trousers/breeches/pantalooms) which couldn't easily be combined.  Shani Naylor is our new dealer with 4 votes for her petticoat breeches, while Chris Carlson is the real winner with 3 votes for his frantic or excited activity - a good description of your dealer right now! Guerri Stevens was the only one to guess that PULLIKINS are instruments for extracting teeth, while Johnny Barrs and Dan Widdis both recognised the word and were DQ.

Over to you, Shani.

As an experiment, I've adapted my scoring spreadsheet to out put the results in a tabular format, similar to the one that Judy uses.  Here are the results of PULLIKINS in the new format.  I welcome comments, particluarly on whether the table displays correctly in email and whether it's preferable to the old format.

I shall revert to my original format, as in the first message in this thread.  My table format looks great on the website, but is not preserved in email so becomes more difficult to read than my original text version.

Ah, well - it seemed like a good idea at the time!

This sample arrives to me in two forms: text and HTML. The text version is
essentially unreadable; everything in one row is shoved together with just a
single space between items.

The HTML is much different. It is very spread out and the columns do line up,
but the right hand cell borders are mostly missing, so it's still a bit
confusing. Note that this would be due to the limitations of the HTML parser
in my email client. For someone using a browser-based view, it might look fine.

Thanks, Tony

That's another good reason to stick to the text formt!
