rnd 3033 RUDISTS, results

[Johnb - co.uk]

Well, what an interesting round - the real definition was a major reef forming bivalve which became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period - ie #2 - 3 people voted for it thus giving me a D3

Benj Evans long offering takes the honours with a 7*and so he is the next dealer (anyone will offer to help if you need to ask). Debbie E is the actual winner with a natural 5

I hope I have scored this correctly - by hand as my other mc is currently down and it has my software  - all errors are mine but I hope that there aren't any

Over to you Benj,

JohnnyB

an early 19th century Northumbrian circle of Romantic thinkers who most notably vilified formal education, particularly grammar schools, espousing rather the ideal of the innately good child in the vein of Rousseau and Wm. Blake, among others. The Rudists took great inspiration from Wordsworth’s poem, “The Tables Turned”, published in his influential 1798  Lyrical Ballads in which he writes, “let nature be your teacher”. Among their number were average-adjuster and poet Edward Irving Todd (1790?-1861), notorious for his 1825 poem "Lady Grammar, Damn Her!", George Thomas Rudd (1795-1847), clergyman and founder of the Royal Entomological Society, and Durham wool merchant Paul Hood (1786-1846). Not to be confused with the Roodists, 18th century Calvinist ministers who favored a simple crucifix over the complete abstention from church adornment practiced by their peers

My votes are given correctly as 7 and 14, but I’m also listed with #6 as having voted for it. Def. 6 should have one less point.

This life is temporary. This life is short.  When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever.  Where will the “real you” live?  Will you live for all eternity separated from God?  Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven?   Learn more so you can make your most important decision:

Thank you, Debbie. Congratulations on second place. My enthusiasm as a new player should wear off slowly, reducing the chances of long defs in the future. Thanks, John, for the welcome to ask questions. I have found word lists updated in August and the documented rules are sufficient so far. Thanks to all who have helped me this past week.

I voted for 2 and 6, not 2 and 9, so Debbie gets her point back and Nancy loses one.

In my brief survey of Scottish verse and song, I came up with a few seemingly more Scottish alternatives to the -ists ending.

Ye wee timorous Rudeasties! - Burns

The Rudite/Rudean Rebellion  (not Jacobists)

Rudis (cf mavis, haggis) (mavis from "Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa")

There's a song called "Land o' the Leal". For good reason it is not called "Land o' the Loyalists"

 ATT?   I have been a tad ill with bronchial stuff, but I was quite sure I sent a bad def in.   My wife want me to give up "silly word games" and I have no idea if she deletes stuff, but I fear that I will have to ask folks to post strictly to my gmail address.  Meanwhile I am coughing enough to wake a politician.

[Debbie]

What is your gmail address?  I do not have that one.
