Re: Word of the Day: Conflate

Mark Morgan surprised me with a word I wasn't familiar with: conflate <http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=conflate> . It means, essentially, to "combine into one".

I'm going to have to use this the next time I play the world's-best-word-game, Big Boggle (Boggle Master for you young'uns). Hopefully tonight.

No problem.  As my grandmother likes to say, I enjoy using these ten dollar words.
