Amanuensis (Raquel)
April 16, 2007 by sharppointythings
 For no apparant reason I’ve have the word ‘amanuensis’ running through my head for most of the morning. Even worse, I could not for the life of me remember what it meant.
 As a courtesy to others who may be having the same difficulty, I provide the definition below (from Webster’s 1828 dictionary):
ÂÂ
AMANUEN’SIS, n. [L. from manus, hand.]
A person whose employment is to write what another dictates.
I think I had that word running through my head awhile ago. I got very annoyed with it, because it wouldn’t tell me what it meant.
