What are the odds? (I really don't think there are very many places you'll find this word, though, other than crosswords, pomegranate-eating directions (?), gardening books, and dictionaries or encyclopedias. Oh, and--almost forgot--the Word Sell, Inc. blog.) Cheers! Jeanne Brad,

There's got to be a blog post in there somewhere. Robert, your comment begs the question, why were you reading instructions on how to eat a pomegranate?
