Yep. I need that. A lot of that...
But that price man. I still have a hard time understanding why cables are so expensive...

I saw a $50 8-ft HDMI cable at bestbuy so its not uncommon. At least this one does more

I've also seen a ft USB cable at monoprice for $1.99 and it worked wonderfully.

Lexicon means that. Or as stated. The lexicon is the vocabulary. Lexical is referring to it, your wording was a bit confusing

scottalanmiller

I use that word constantly.

scottalanmiller

I also regularly use lexicographical.

You should read "The Meaning of Everything" and "The Professor and the Madman" if you are interested in lexical studies of the English language. Simon Winchester's writing is brilliant.

Have any of you given thought as to what you might do when you retire? I've thought about this and I'm sure what I want to do will change later in my life, but carpentry is really interesting and fun to me. I will most likely try to master that if I ever am able to retire.
