[Tilly2]

Epic's better!

[factor-fiction]

Just out of interest ,Tilly, when I was at primary school the spelling was always
'encyclopædia' but I've noticed that the usual spelling now seems to be 'encyclopedia' with an e instead of the æ . There were other words too that I recall used to have diphthong thingies (manœuver, Fœtus etc). Does anyone ever use them now? Did their disappearance coincide with the wider use of wordprocessors/PCs? Or am I just mistaken in remembering that that wa sthe usual spelling in the 1960s?

I think 'it' all went to pot when the I.T.A. teaching method came and went.
Well done for finding them on your p.c. I don't think they are easily accessible.

[factor-fiction]

I can see jog- graph-fee but is that enough for an answer?

[smurf]

thank you factor- fiction at this stage in the game closing date looming any answer is a good one

[factor-fiction]

character assessment male animal

Male animal is possible BULL so the word may end in BLE
Assessment could be fee, rating, rate,

If rate it could end in something like 'rateable'- so maybe the answer ends in table
