Someone told me once to not publicly admit your weaknesses, I haven't yet
learned that lesson because I do it all the time. I was unfamiliar with
obtunuity myself. My husband, who was a Latin scholar in school, probably
knew the word. He strengthens my vocab skills on an almost weekly basis.

If it makes you feel better Ray, I would have used obtuseness. I' make up
new words by adding prefixes and suffixes to existing words.

Thanks for the correct word, Bob. Learn something every day.
