Did you even bother to read it? I rewrote it. I wasn't being critical of his spelling, I changed the riddle. Same with the other thread. I just wanted to talk about portmanteaus. I really like Lewis Carroll.
The other thread the first thing you did was correct the spelling of the word mischievous....LOL
 
 
That is why I thought you were only correcting this one too
 
and to tell you the truth......you lost me on the port thing

Mischevious is a portmanteau. It is a combination of mischievous and devious. It is not a misspelling. It isn't a real word either. Spork is another example of a portmanteau.
 
Forget it

It's lonely to be smart, isn't it? You hang out with your Rubiks cube too much. LOL...I knew about sporks, but never bothered to know what to call such a word, so today I'm a little smarter...thanks.
