In which case, you have made an invalid move. :wink:

Esp. as in:

It's also an acronym for a technical aspect of web pages:

Yeah, I know that, but then it's not a suffix----it's a word unto itself, is it not?

^That quote (or parts of it - ie. "I know that", "not a suffix", "unto" etc) doesn't appear to be from this thread, and I'm not sure it's from me anyway: I don't remember using "----" as a run-on device, preferring instead " - " or "--".
Although... I note from one of your PM's that you do use it. A misquote, perhaps?

There have also been earlier occurrences accepted in this thread of a suffix being a word in its own right and when word lists (we've all seen them, right? :wink: ) include (say) a three-letter suffix as a word, I'm happy to go along with that.

Oh, no----it's not what you said. I just put it in a "quote box" to draw your attention to it----sorry, about that----I shouldn't have put =Cornflake, and then it would've just been a white box.

Oh, okay----I didn't know that.

Ah right, gotcha. :lol:
One conventional way of doing that is to simply use "@", as in: @Campin_Cat - this part is for you.
