According to webster online dictionary......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Main Entry: lu·nette
Pronunciation: lü-'net
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Old French lunete small object shaped like the moon,
from lune moon
Date: circa 1673
1 : something that has the shape of a crescent or half-moon: as a : an
opening in a vault especially for a window b : the surface
at the upper part of a wall that is partly surrounded by a vault which the
wall intersects and that is often filled by windows or by
mural painting c : a low crescentic mound (as of sand) formed by the wind
2 : the figure or shape of a crescent moon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

as usual , this just adds to the confusion (or fun) , of course: if most is
moat, and fry is dry, as d and f , a and s are next to each other on a
standard qwerty keyboard.......
the rest is conjecture.

Regards,
Robin Johnson

Can anybody who read the item on Fort William guess what
" the most is fry and has a lunette in the middle" should be.
A typing error which the spelling checker agreed with.

Has anyone got a "Reading Checker"? "Thinking checker?" "Chubby xxxxxx??"

The answer will be given next week.
