By editing your post, pengy, you just threw away the possibility of another tie, because I can't possibly know if you originally had the right answer.Now Erachima is dominating this thing like pengy usually does! :P(only 3 scorers? sadness :laugh: )WINNERS=========penguinman - ISTANDINGS==========1.

oh come on! lets think about that. erachima posted again at 1:20, with a reference to what was in my post, so i must have posted before that. i had it right. ask him if you like. merh. convalescence = regaining strength/health, relapse = slip back. e. recidivism = relapse,rehab = rehab! getting better.

exemption:exclusions::immunity:isolationThe first is a status that you hold which protects you from a circumstance, while the latter is a status enforced upon you or granted by outside causes to keep you from a circumstance.

expurgate:passage::burn:bookBoth of the actions are done as a declaration of outrage at their targets, and are closely associated with the declaration of the author as a heretic.
