Vaibhav left a comment in which he used the “oppugnant” word.
Mama commented on that comment, saying he had never heard
…..of such a word, though he’d found one that might be related.
V. retorted to M. that Google dictionary had it; that, he so related.
I took my LARGE, but NOT unabridged, dictionary from its shelf,
checked it AND Google for “oppugnant”.I did it ….all by myself!
I assume Mama used an ‘abridged’ dictionary (paper)as I did,
but did not check , using Google.If ‘twas on ‘paper’, it was hid.
So, let this be a cautionary note to all writers and readers THAT:
“If you don’t find a word, you may have not looked where it’s AT! ! “
