yup, that's it. as far as i know, dreamt is the *only* word in the english
language to end with an mt.
but then, my useless grammar trivia has been proven wrong before...i coulda
sworn "orange" had no rhyme, but according to the "ask marilyn" column a while
ago, "sporange" is a perfectly acceptable word, and it just so happens to
rhyme with orange. (sporange, though, isn't in my websters...though
sporangium (synonomous with sporange, according to miss von savant) is...oh,
well.)
