Gillie

The gl7 has a common suffix

12:31 am

cybernan

I have two gl 5's, but no way to extend them - must be missing something. Crashing, so will look again tomorrow.

12:32 am

Gillie

Maybe I shouldn't say suffix - it's a compound

You have to be some kind of dictionary reader to know the oi7/8 combination

7:44 am

ChampFit

I LOVE when there's no definition, too. Not.

7:44 am

MollyL

It's not even the correct spelling of the word. Thumbs down to Enable for that one.
