Rusty, Elle's edition, the 13th, is the one that missed out the grey words - my revised 13th edition has all the words, no longer greyed out. However, the plot thickens - I've checked my upstairs dictionary, the 12th edition, and 'mosh' and 'mosh pit' are both in it, and they're not grey, just normal entries! Elle's version seems … pretty useless to me. The Revised 13th seems to be the latest one, though I've had only a quick check online.


I'm glad you've managed, against all odd, to talk yourself into buying the Unexplained book!

Hi, Rusty!
Your saying that "mosh pit" is beyond your ken put me in mind of the Radio shows!
Do you remember "Beyond Our Ken"?
With Kenneth Horne; Kenneth Williams; Bill Pertwee and a few others whose names I can no longer recall.
Later, it was followed by "Round the Horne"!
I used to really enjoy listening to those on a Sunday lunch time!
You can buy the Revised 13th edition of chambers, Rusty...like Malone has.
That seems to be okay?
I don't think that a 14th edition has yet been produced?
I do have an edited list of all 500 "missing words" printed out, and now placed in the back of my own Chambers!
"Mosh pit" however, is not amongst them!
Yes, you will all enjoy your outing to the Pine Cone tomorrow!
It is great that Miss O'H is going along with you, too!
And speaking of outings...
We are now away to visit the cat, feed the fish etc......
Keep your fingers crossed that the porch door doesn't fall out again!
(God alone knows when I shall be back if that happens!)



No, Malone, "mosh pit " was not one of the missing words....
Courtesy (huh!) of Chambers, I do have a printed out list of said 500 missing words!



Hello, Pigale!
Yes, I am fine, thank you!
I am glad that you missed out on those horrific storms!
We had heavy rain here, but (fortunately for the dog) no thunder.
I shall look up "moshing" on YouTube later........
Right now, I am going over to my daughter's to see to the cat...…..

Elle, I felt your 13 edition wasn't very good anyway, because of the vanishing grey words, but it's worse if other words have gone too! Something that's in the 12th and Revised 13th shouldn't have just disappeared - and who knows what other words might have gone walkabout?

Malone
I was unfortunate enough to have been given a 13th edition. A dear colleague on another forum kindly emailed me the missing list which I have just checked. Mosh is not listed .
Mortiferous is followed by Moulage .
Mosh IS in my 13th with mosher, moshing and mosh pit but are we all talking of the same edition?

re my last post

My edition is 2014 ; I understand the omitted words were reinstated in the 2016 revision of the 13th?.
I use the Chambers App. on my phone when I am away from home.

Thanks, Cerasus. As Elle said earlier, Mosh Pit isn't in her 13th edition (the one with the missing words), but it IS in my Revised 13th edition. As it's also in my 12th edition (and not a grey word), I can't understand where it's gone! Is your 13th the same as mine, or the same as Elle's? Maybe she's got a really faulty version!

Malone
My 13th (2014) is the one with the omitted words . Here is the pdf. from 2016

"To whom it may concern",
(There's been so many posts since I was last on, I have became muddled!)
Anyway, how do I identify which is the Revised 13th editition?
Malone, I do not have "grey words" in my 10th edition, that I am aware of.
What are they, please?
Like Cerasus, I have the Chambers Dictionary app on my 'phone and find it to be very good, whenever I remember about it!
I have ordered Chambers Dictionary of the Unexplained!

Thanks again, Cerasus. It seems strange that you've got a Mosh Pit and Elle hasn't - you've both got the edition with the omitted words! I like my 12th edition as the grey words sometimes catch my eye and I come across interesting things. The Revised 13th is the one I use most, as it's the most up-to-date.

Malone
I have never caught sight of a mosh pit and have no inclination to do so. (joke)
Maybe, later, the elusive 'mosh' will turn up ( just like Oxford Bags)
