Re: OT - other examples where 'driddle' is used

George,
you have been warned not only by me but by several others over the last six
years - stop your personal abuse and stalking campaing. You know as well as
I do that it's criminal act in your country as well as in mine! You had
better get yourself a life of your own than continuing picking on me and
mine!

To my surprise I have found the NSOED says:

driddle ... [Imit., infl. by 'dribble', 'diddle' & perh. Norw. dial
'dritla' walk slowly trailing something.] A. v. 1 v.i. Walk slowly
or uncertainly; work in a dilatory way; waste one's time. E17 ...
+more.

It appears that this is not a typo on Inger's part but the use of a
real but obscure (in English) word.

But she wrote "dridle" with one 'd' and certainly
didn't use it in this sense. Or do you think that
she 'advised' Philip not to waste his time with her?

On checking back, I see you are right.
In any case, giving that advice to Philip also is a waste of time.

Sorry Eric,
but while I did misspell the word I at the same time most certainly
used it the way it should and could be used.
That I wrote a pastisch of a situation is a completely different
story. It's sad that so many have a hard time understanding when one
is sarcastic.

We can start a new round.
This is sarcastic according to Inger:

" Prd, if you continue your abuse as well as your
stalking-campain you know what you will have to face,
stop your dridle! "
and
" George, the only one of us two who does what you try
to say I do, is you. You have dridled and abused many
over the years, not only me. During the last year you
tried to tell Professors(plural) that they don't know their
own speciality. Wouldn't it be better that you stopped
writing abuse and dridle? "

I can dridle ? hell, watch me do what ever it is....
I think the crupper strap in the mouth slurs the meaning of words...
better go back to the scalds bridle (again) :-)
