Architectural salvage is big here in New England too. People wanting to "authenticize" their homes with period items are using the salvage places daily.

Thanks for posting.

I looked through my dictionary, which is really big, and "authenticize" is not in it.

 

[NutmegCT]

Just gotta know where to look

Dad, how do I spell "xxxxxx"?
Here's a dictionary - look it up.
How can I look it up if I don't know how to spell it???

Thread drift alert!
Read ”The Professor and the Madman”. It’s about how the Oxford Dictionary came about and 9ne of its most prolific contributors.

Well, as long as we're at it, the possessive "its" does not have an apostrophe.

You're absolutely correct. One issue I have with modern technology is that my phone will sometimes "correct" me without my catching it before I make a post or send a text.

Definition accepted. It's correct!

Its isn't it is, it's is.
