I was most disappointed to see jpg, gif and gui did not make the 2005 Scrabble dictionary, as we had been playing with those words for about a year waiting for the new dictionary to come out!

Actually she'd be "verbosifying," verbose (which I've been called many times) being the root word.
If you want a REAL word, you can pick from bombastic, circumlocutory, diffuse, flowery, fustian, gabby, garrulous, grandiloquent, involved, long-winded, loquacious, magniloquent, palaverous, periphrastic, pleonastic, prolix, redundant, repeating, repetitious, repetitive, rhetorical, talkative, talky, tautological, tautologous, tedious, tortuous, windy, or yacking.
I like yacking myself, with circumlocutory and magniloquent close seconds.

Actually, 'windy" is pretty good. But, it's ambiguity could get you into a LOT of trouble.

Ajax, your penchant for sesquipedalianism leaves me wholly nonplussed.

I don't have a plus either. Not a one!

Craigsub...I just bought two more tix, and noticed that my initial payment is still "unclaimed". Are you waiting to claim the payment, or just forgot?

I will have to take a look. I thought we had claimed everything. On the other hand, with my track record using computers, I probably missed it ...
