Thank you, Judy, I'm cribbing your language:

Here are 10 definitions for the word QAWWALI shared exactly as I received them -- but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group for what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary. The deadline for voting is Monday June 13 at 9 pm Eastern Time. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition. 
 
Good luck!
Debby Fein
  1. A fruit basket 

  3. [Hind.] An unlicensed taxi 

  5. A black variety of the jaguar  
  6.  
  7. Fervent Muslim devotional music  
  8.   
  9. (Arab.) A warm, dry wind in the desert 

  11. Gram. A word used, or one chiefly used, without the definite article 

  13. To speak or wail; especially in a formal religious environment, to pray 

  15. [Islam] A descendant of the prophet Muhammad (Sayyid or Sayyida, q.v.) through both parents  

  17. Any of various stones revered as sacred in ancient Greek civilization, representing the center of the world 

  19. One or more handwoven and beautifully dyed saddlebags which hang from a North Arabian camel's saddle

sound like google deciding you cant count using even numbers -- try looking at your default formatting - may be 'list' and as Debrah posted a list then its got confused again (again)

When you use Word's (or any other software's) automatic list numbering feature, removing an item from the list updates the numbers for the remaining items. This behavior persists through the processes of pasting from Word (or whatever) into an email and copying that email into a reply. Once a numbered list, always a numbered list, unless you do something to reformat it (which is usually more trouble than it's worth).

I appreciate the options that make it not my doing, but I think most likely is that I lean too much on proper appearance which might result from double spacing part of the doc and putting hard returns on others.

But it was fine when I looked at the sent file. It's too much trouble to try to analyze it. LOL!

Deborah, I use a third-party email program. I didn't go to gmail on the Web to compare, but my program occasionally interprets things differently than gmail per se. It's entirely possible that I'm the only person who saw this...and as I mentioned earlier, when I looked at my "sent" file, it was fine.

4 and 7, please (per the original numbering, not as quoted below… seems the “blank” lines get added to the numbering somehow!)

1 and 10, please, although I should know better than to vote for anything related to camel saddles.

           1.  A fruit basket

        10. One or more handwoven and beautifully dyed saddlebags which hang from a North Arabian camel's saddle 

You don't seem to have received my def, which I sent at 21:56 BST (4:56 PM EDT) on Thursday 9th.
