Usually someone post the correct answer before I can finish reading the CCC. Today I had times to read it at least 20 times. Guess what I find it much easier when someone post the answer... What are you guys doing????

English  : E
Doctor,  : MB
managed  : RAN
George I : G (first of George)
and left off second half of : LE
day      : D
Implicated : EMBRANGLED
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Well Done Richard!

A bit of guesswork on my part, as Chambers does not include "implicated" as one of the definitions. Remind me, do you use OED or something else?

GeneralRe: CCC 6/11/12memberDalek Dave5 Nov '12 - 23:40 
Predominantly the OED, but in fact I take any word from any recognized dictionary.
Sometimes words that are not actually in dictionaries.
 
If they are neologisms they may not appear in a dictionary yet, but are sufficiently à la mode to be in ether of public awareness.

But she won't notice.
Where's the joy in that?
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
