Alicia,

Thank you for the lovely new word! (New to me, anyway.)

1macaronic 2a: characterized by a mixture of vernacular words or with non-Latin words having Latin endings <many carols are macaronic and in them Latin and English...are often combined with a syntactical accuracy--E.K. Chambers> b: characterized by a mixture of two languages.

2macaronic n -s :macaronic composition or literature: a confused mixed-up piece of writing


Say, Roger, check out that noun definition. I certainly manage to crank out "confused mixed-up pieces of writing" without leaving my native tongue; I'm sure you, too, can aspire to single-language marconics.

Oliver and Catherine--Glad you enjoyed!

Mark--thanks for bringing more macaroni to the party. [Urp.]

Julie Stoner
