"I think a 'Pascalian Dictionary' would have to be electronic, it would be too large for a paper version."
Hm! I don't see *my* name on the list for an electronic version! lol! I guess I need to sit down and come up w/some more words, huh...like "orthesh" or "shibseda" perhaps (my captchas! lol! ;-)
Okay, okay, so my Harrap's bilingual dictionary tells me (NOW that I've checked) that the proper translation for that little-used term in English is simply "intimist". Call me an optimistic for not verifying sooner! :-) Sometimes I just make assumptions.
At times I love inventing new words, but I must confess that in this instance it was "abstotallutely inintentionalated".

A painting? Wow, this is great.
I don't know if there's any relation to the Tate gallery.

And a TCGirl one, for words like "otter".
I think a 'Pascalian Dictionary' would have to be electronic, it would be too large for a paper version.
