Thank you Chris. Being a medico my hand writing skills hardly give me a high ground to comment here. Some times the issue is how to stop a word that keeps running on. Rather like banananana. Biliary surgeons do cholangiopancreatography or choledocojejunostomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy. But sometimes, bless them, they abbreviate eg. Whipple procedure which really means "pancreaticoduodenectomy with gastrojejunostomy, choledocojejunostomy and pancreaticogastrostomy". It is actually deemed as incorrect to place any hyphens in here !
There was a chap in my graduation year who did eventually become a very good surgeon. He stuttered terribly under pressure when he was a medical student though. Fortunately he was allowed to write down answers if he was too nervous, and hand them across the table during viva-voce exams. He was a really clever guy and his knowledge of anatomy was awesome. He had speech therapy later on which all but solved the problem.
Cheers, Mike.

Do you know what I think? I think there isn't nearly enough Oklahoma spelling about. I like it! Perhaps it's time to start a petition...? But before we do that:
STYROPOPHAHAID
Interestingly... you managed to choose one of the wrong pairs, David, although you did manage to put the one that you didn't leave in the place it started in in the original jumble, in the right place - so congratulations :)
And you almost managed to get the last letter correct, but didn't because it was the one before that which, if you'd leapfrogged the letter before that, over it - would have given you a double correct at the end, instead of only half of a double at the end which is what you have got. Giving you two correct but not together.
If you're interested - the whole of the last two paragraphs were originally written without any punctuation at all. It made even my head spin. So I chucked in some bbcode but that didn't help much, so I lobbed in some small squiggly things and a couple of dots to help because I'm feeling particularly kindly today.
@Chris - yes, it is :)
edit: a peach I mean. And a clue.
What I *think* I got out of that is ----O-------IA. Going back to the original, I think I can change that to AA-HO---PP--IA.
I checked the Latin name of a peach tree and this obviously isn't it, so I remain clueless about that.
My recently-feeble mind refuses to contemplate any of that without punctuation. It also refuses to make another attempt at this time. It didn't get enough sleep last night.

Hopstodayphria
sohparatyphoid
I cannot find them in any of my dictionaries. Perhaps they appear in Anniet's? :-)
Indeed they are, Mr Ffing :) Oddly enough, hopstodayphria is a little ritual dance that has to be performed in front of the queen, in order to persuade her not to lob an ear off whilst she's mid-knighting you. It's why we tend not to give them to people from other countries, just in case of international incidences and whatnot. *Stare suddenly and intimidatingly at einsteinians* I hope you're all taking notes? :) And sohparatyphoid is a fortunately very rare complication giving rise to incessant warbling of the note SOH whilst feverish with paratyphus. Not pleasant for the sufferer, nor for those nursing them.
Neither are what I'm looking for however.
Your first started well, hiccupped briefly, redeemed itself, then staggered calamitously onwards where it then finished exceedingly well indeed with a group of three, bringing the total correct to five. Your second had one correct, which as it was one that was already correct in David's first offering, could be considered a complete waste of effort. :)

After writing these down, I worked out another guess of my own. It will at least generate some useful negatives, I think.
PHASODTYPHORIA
It has generated six negatives, David. A group of four, then a group of two. Looking at it from another perspective, it has generated a group of two and then a group of six, so very well done indeed! :)
As for what any of this has to do with peaches, one could just as easily ask what has any of it got to do with velvet.

...you have one correct in each. Both are the same letter. One is the first of that type, and one is the second of that same type, not necessarily in that order. If I'm feeling very kind later, I might pop back and tell you that the type I'm talking about are P's. If I'm not, I won't.

Going through all the feedback without bending my mind TOO far, I wrote down the letters I was sure of. :)

Then I looked :) at what was left.
ADYT :)
I was fairly confident of where the Y went, so I started playing :) with the other three to see where they would make phonetic sense. When I had something that seemed likely, I searched for it and came up with
HYPTODYSPHORIA - An odd sensation felt by certain people when handling peaches, velvet or other fuzzy surfaces.
Thus :) explaining the clue-ograph.
It is customary here, but not required, to wait for confirmation of correctness :) before posting the next word. However, I will be leaving work early (for an FNA of my thyroid, to make sure its nodules :) are nothing to worry about) and suspect Annie won't be back to issue such confirmation before I go, so here's a new word now.

It was difficult to jumble it in any kind of rational way without putting any of the letters in the right places. I will not tell you - for now - whether I succeeded. :)

In view of thyroid having no A's, but indeed having a Y, I'm going to assume your upcoming test :/ may have impinged upon your thoughts a tad, David... and that when you wrote HYPTODYSPHORIA, you in fact meant to write HAPTODYSPHORIA. So I will go away and look at your jumbled word now, whilst extending my best wishes for anxiety-free nodules for you - which we can throw a party for later if you like? :-8]
