Isn't "verbing of nouns" the verbing of noun? Or perhaps that's the point. :) Tom Schmidlin ********************************************************************** * JudgeNet - the beer judge digest * * Send plain text only, no HTML, MIME, encoded text or attachments * * Manage your subscription online: http://synchro.com/judge * * Send subscription requests & changes to judge-request`at`synchro.com * ********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Francisco Jones Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2005 10:36:42 -0600 Subject: Re: Vocabulary >Part of the goal will be to put it all in one spot and make it complete. > It would be >nice for a novice brewer to go to the BJCP web site and look up the >confusing words for explanation. This is a good idea. I myself have had to go to several sources to get a more compete picture of what a particular descriptor means. Having a comprehensive description in a single place would be most helpful. There was some good discussion on HBD a week or so ago about the differences between sulfite and sulfide: how they smell, etc. A perfect candidate for the comprehensive vocabulary list, IMO. Is the committee going to include sources for all the flavors and smells as part of the descriptions?
