	Mushmouth! I read on your Twitter a tweet about your love for language. Apparently you manage a life list of words you've used out in the wild. That really is commendable that you would attempt to ameliorate your lexical precision.


	Mushmouth says:
	A meal you ate, what? Crispy pita chips with BLT dip! That's the last meal I ate. I don't know about any meal you ate.


	Stobierski says:
	Ameliorate. Oh come now, surely anyone familiar with words like postlapsarian and predilection would know ameliorate. It means "to improve."


	Mushmouth says:
	If it means "to improve," why not use improve?


	Stobierski says:
	Because ameliorate is such a fantastic word!


	Mushmouth says:
	It can't be that phantastic. It doesn't even start with a "P." I only like words that start with the letter "P." Like pizzicato, philately, phrenology, and portcullus. Those are all pretty phantastic! Have you ever seen philately before?


	Stobierski says:
	No, I cannot recall having seen philately.


	Mushmouth says:
	Me neither, I wonder what old Phil is up to!


	Stobierski says:
	Good grief. I really should have known better.


	Mushmouth says:
	Well, I'm off for my postprandial peripatetic exercise. Gotta burn off those BLT dips.

Um. You do realize the “B” in BLT means bacon? Don’t you?

I was hoping it meant beef. Oh well, I’m not particular.

It’s in the fridge next to the fat-free mayo. That and the lettuce make it a healthy, low fat snack.
