Not clear on anno for SIDE MARGIN

DeleteAmbiguity is regretted.
DeleteElsewhere LINE MARGIN was suggested. Any book, I suppose, will have a SIDE MARGIN or rather 'side margins'. What note-takers will appreciate is a side-margin that is -ide.
So the answer is WIDE MARGIN. with the margins being W ND E ?
DeleteThat should read W and E
Deletei thought it was huge maintenance , for 1D, he he he its high maintenance cost
ReplyDelete"adar" reminded me of my evangelical missionary school where our copies of the Bible had, for some reason, references to all the months of the Jewish calendar.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen too many references to "fall on one's feet", and most places say "land on one's feet". On the other hand, "fall at one's feet" is a direction persons under 25 receive all the time...
24A is, I think, SHUCKS. I found a reference to huckle, a diminutive of huck, meaning hip, in my copy of Reader's Digest Universal Dictionary. Perhaps Gridman could clarify?
ReplyDeleteOh wait. There's an entry in The Free Dictionary.
