Wordy wittering.

ventaToday's word in our office is... corrigendum, meaning an error in a printed work discovered after printing and shown with its correction on a separate sheet.
The word is courtesy of the SOAP spec (which some poor beggar in my office has to read).
According to Merriam-Webster, today's word is vinaceous, meaning wine coloured.
A quick browse through former words of the day led us to pullulate, whose pronunciation gives me a problem. Apparently the 'pull' syllable rhymes with 'dull', not 'bull'. But 'bull' and 'dull' rhyme when I say them - it's the same vowel sound, damnit!
