Hi, Roger, I have a friend who used to program computers. She said that
one kluges a glitch. I think the answer you got sounds quite elegant,
e.g., the kluge is a clumsy means of fixing a glitch. (I suspect it's
like putting duct tape on something which is busted. It will hold for
awhile, but it's not the best solution, rather a make-do kind of thing
you employ until you can come up with something better. Regards, Kim
Friedman. P.S.: I'm all for increasing the vocabulary. Incidentally the
book I'm proofreading has introduced me to a few words which were quite
unfamiliar to me. K.

My vocabulary has failed me. When I was in school every time I took one
of
those standardized tests I would always land in the very highest
percentile
on the vocabulary section. I am always hearing people tell me that I use
big
words. All this has led me to be pretty confident of my vocabulary.
However,
in just the last couple of days I have seen a word in a couple of emails
that I was unfamiliar with, klooge. From context I surmise that it means
a
work-around. Since this is the second time I have encountered it,
though, I
thought I would google it. I used the Google define feature. In both
emails
in which it occurred I note that it is spelled in two different ways.
One
spelling is k l u g e. The other spelling is k l o o g e. I googled both
and
for the first I got a definition stating that it is a clever or wise
man. I
got no definition for the second spelling. Since even the first
definition
does not seem to have anything to do with the contexts in which I came
across it I think it might be slang. I am intrigued though. Can someone
let
me know what the correct spelling actually is and what its origin might
be
and exactly what it means?

I was able to retrieve my file by going to Wordpad on my PC and opening
the file I'd copied from the BN, then re-saving it under a different
name. Klooge! But at least I have my work. I'd still like to know why
Word won't open the file directly, though. Tracy
