Good point. The plural "evils" doesn't make much sense. Ah well. I thought I'd give the word a try. Marc

It's the one before the one before. Sort of the penultimate penultimate. The harbingers, of course, being the 4 mini-me's of the apocalypse.

Well, once you replied, Chris' reply become the penultimate reply. And after someone else replies, your reply will become the penultimate. So at any one point in time, there may only be one penultimate, but over the span of time, there may be many of them. :) I'll go back to sleep now. :zzz:

well yeah, you need to save room for Stallmans foaming at the mouth rants.

The one before the one before is called the antepenultimate, actually. My brother had it as a daily double question when he appeared on Jeopardy!, oddly enough.

So do you have the anteantepenultimate? Seriously though, did you know that this is a double latin derivation with penultimate coming from paenultimus. Hey, there was some benefit to doing latin at school after all. Repeat after me: "Romanes eunt domus"

There's never a downside to knowing Latin. How would you translate "Do No Evil"? Not "non nocere", certainly, which is a bit weaker.

Find an old, dusty word in the attic. Fire it up, take it for a spin. And then sometimes leave it by the side of the riad when you realise there was a good reason it was in the attic. And then again there are some words that simply need to be taken to the wrecking yard...:suss:
