Dear Bob, List;
Indeed so! So, to ask the $64,000 question, does the commonly used
term "meteorwrong" come with a negative connotation, and does it have a
presence in dictionaries, meaning does it have diction with a positive
connotation, or is it still a negative, there be it, a negative
negative being a positive?
Can we get "meteorwrong" in a dictionary with a positive connotation?
