Translating from English to

Translating from English to English, somewhere in there I have a group of four, one wrong, and then a group of two.

Furthermore, either the first I, the R, or the last U is right.

Scrolling down for another look, I see you have weighted in on Admiral's offerings.

I now humbly submit SINUTUDERTIAN - a condition involving substances in one's facial bone cavities that one DEFINITELY does not want there.

[edit]

Clearly, this has no bearing at all to my groups, so I don't know why I even posted it.

Yes, you do, but may I recommend you think more out than in, apart from the two which are in because they have to be?

Yes.

No. One doesn't... but thank you for drawing my attention to it.

Did you translate this bit? It referred to your former word.

And there are as many adjacent and completely and utterly wrong ones as you got right!


I'm asking because it is now completely wrong thanks to your new word, which also has six right with only one of them standing beside a wrong letter (which you had previously got right - but now haven't)

So if you get this today, it will be meaningless compared to if you got it tomorrow from when when I posted it was would have been* :) <<<- That <<<- there <<<- was a clue too! for which you are very, very welcome!

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Before reading this, I came

Before reading this, I came up with UNDERUSTITIAN. Until this very moment of typing it, I thought it was complete nonsense. Now I'm not so sure. But anyway...

As I learn how you think, this suggests to me that my group of four is at the beginning. NUDIAST-----N, NUDIUST-----N, NUDIRST-----N.

Again, as I type this I'm having new flashes of understanding. It reinforces what I said above about the group of four being at the beginning.

Need more time to think about that. Meanwhile, NUDIRSTEUTIAN, NUDIUSTERTIAN, and NUDIRSTUETIAN are also perfectly good nonsense, which happen to all have their last five letters in common with the nasal affliction.

Uuuuuummmmmmm......... Something about the definition, it seems.

Well I like it - especially the way it made the internet throw Titian at me. Suggests it has great potential as a word that just needs a definition. There are far too many that already have in my opinion

Now may I suggest you think more in than both outs?

Well you should because it did.

Five is good... but six is better, which is why I said it.

If you're having difficulties *blink slowly at Daaaavid* try using one of the fingers from your other hand - to make up the shortfall...

And one of them isn't nonsense. It's just a bit obsolete. As most things from 1647 probably are.

Well perhaps if I had looked

Well perhaps if I had looked up those three possibilities before I posted them, we might have gotten to the next word three hours sooner.

Speaking of which,

AAGIILMNNOPSSS

I thought about adding a prefix to make it 19 letters, but I decided not to. You're welcome.

I'll pretend you did it out of kindness and say thank you then, David :) As we are all aware *gaze at each einsteinian in turn* a five letter prefix would have brought out my poorly mannered side, and that is not a pretty sight at all!

AAGIILMNNOPSSS

Angilimpsnosas - *blink* ... I see you went for the British spelling.

AssinanGlopism - a branch of food preparation adopted by manufacturers of ready meals. Results in thick, unattractive, semiliquid substances that are then packaged and sold hidden behind pictures of something else that does resemble food.

Sonilaspasming - inadvertent contortions of the facial muscles when transported during the act of singing.

Manglisspianos - four-legged stringed instruments that produced such a diabolical acoustic racket it drove those with one, mad - to the point they hammered the piano, not the strings and started flooding into psychiatric wards in their dozens. Fearing an outbreak of something fungal, an investigation was launched and the source was finally discovered. Inspired by the fame of Stradivarius, an Ikea flatpack helpline employee (Bjorn Mangliss) was then dismissed from his job after it emerged he had been innovatively directing customers to build musical instruments from their purchases, instead of wardrobes and coffee tables etc. He became the only person prosecuted for not breaching design copyrights enough when breaching copyright.

Ossimannaglips - the mysterious appearance of stones on surfaces where no stones were found before. Believed to be a mutation arising from an ancient fungus that has since learned to use dew to calcify itself. Commonly referred to in the upper outer volga region of Japan as petrified manna

PaginMossSnail - species of terrestrial mollusc that seeks out a carpet of moss, on which to Rumba at the full moon. The function of the behaviour is not certain although studies suggest it may be a form of gravitational warfare (or worship with calamitous results) directed at the GothicFernSlug.

I did this *gesture dismissively at the next bit*

1. Angilimpsnosas
2. AssinanGlopism
3. Sonilaspasming
4. Manglisspianos
5. Ossimannaglips
6. PaginMossSnail

for your convenience.

You're welcome!! :)

Thank you, ma'am.

I first want to congratulate you on having no zeroes.

1: has 2, far apart.
2: the first three letters could be another term for the only part of the word you have right.
3: 5, including a pair in the middle.
4: jump back to what you said about my first guess on the last one, then take a step to the right.
5: a solitary letter, seemingly sentenced to singleness in the world of rightness. And this wasn't the only time it was right.
6: a doubly strong start, but all the rest only managed to double the right count.

Also, you have a regular (not a baker's) batch of rights.

I probably won't check in again tonight. I still have to see what's going on at Seti, and it's almost bedtime.

Well, I'm back after all.

Well, I'm back after all. Admiral posted some guesses at this one and I said the results would be here. So here they are. 1, 3, 1, 2. I am now too tired to get witty with them. Okay, there are 2 duplicates among his 7 rights. In other words, he has 5 right 7 times.

Should be, aural, nasal, or oral?
