Good to see that life is perfectly normal back in Switzerland. I suspect that a "bytologist" would have something to do with computers - but perhaps the OED would like to elucidate in its next edition. Meanwhile, trying to come to terms with "G'day Mate" as an appropriate morning greeting from the CEO. Wondering what to do with "Stubbies" and "Budgie Smugglers" and as to what a "Ute" looks like ........ Keep your respective chins up eberyone and I won't mention that it's 28C down under - oops, just did! Ahhh! Good to see that life is perfectly normal back in Switzerland.

Xeno as in xenophobia - which is a prefix and not a band which is a name so wouldn't have counted either. "Solely interested in words in a literary context" ?! Can you write that in English. You must be a nightmare to live with. Guy, there is no hyphen in Scrabble.

And I gather Xeno is the name of a band (I Googled it I must confess). Actually I'm rubbish at Scrabble in spite of being a graduate in English literature - I have no interest in crossword puzzles either. I seem to be solely interested in words in a literary context.

Bytologist? Sounds a bit rude. Or maybe it's just my daft bilingual mind playing tricks on me! Skipping around, tossing my pony tail :) Oy, no squabbling while scrabbling, you two. Bytologist?
