Welp, mecate didn’t fool as many of you as I thought it would. In fact, if Merriam-Webster.com could deal, it would next time with a D6. (Not my highest score ever, though.)
Our new dealer is, in its absence, Dan Widdis whose fine fiber scored a natural five. Dave Cunningham breathes a sigh of relief with an unnatural five. In addition, Efrem Mallach gets 2 dealer points for me misplacing his def.
Take it away, Dan!
