Hmmm - well, if I hadn't added a prefix :) you would have got the first letter correct with both of those, David... but I did, so you didn't. You have got the last letter correct once though, and you've got the S correct twice, so well done for that, although neither of the total of two letters you've got right so far, are the two letters that were correctly placed in the jumble, which were vowels. Yes.
As to your white text *newly educated blink at einteinians* I had no idea it meant something other than a Scottish variant of pound... or a type of flowering tree that occurs in parts of Africa (and elsewhere I gather) from which Calophyllum oil is extracted, so thank you for broadening my knowledge :)

Yes. I've heard of this nasty affliction *blink sympathetically at Norsemen everywhere* but at least it has added a correct N to your list of correct letters

There is quite a bit of good negative information here. Distilling it will take a few of the famous Anniet s.
I'm going to start by reviewing everything so far, with known wrongs struck out.
Also, the M is probably 3rd or 4th, although it could also be 5th or 6th.
Putting all this together (well, almost) I come up with REMONSANOXPIE, which only has one letter I already know to be wrong and two I know to be right.
I'm working on another, but I'll see where this gets me first.

Of the two last letters you could have chosen, David, you chose the wrong one not to strikethrough. So congratulations... *sweep lashes insultingly round floor* your ineptitude there has considerably brightened my day. Thank you :)

I'd be interested to know which two you think you know to be right... *consider what just came out of the keyboard* ... oh ... actually... *jaded blink* ...it seems I'm not.
:)
You do now have four correctly placed. I'd congratulate you again but it would seem inappropriate after my initial congratulations expressed up there so I won't. One is the S you already knew, one is an N, one is one of the vowels I spoke of earlier and one is an entirely new one that has so far gone unmentioned. Oh. Did I say three of the four are together? Well they are. There is also another correctly strung trio which are a notch too left to be right. They aren't the ones that directly precede the edible bit though, no. They're not. Those are the others.

I chose to strike out the last letter that I did because you seemed to imply that I had not had an N until Norseman. So what you are now saying is that I have 1 N in Norseman and the other N at the end.
What I *thought* I had right were the S and the final E, but now you're telling me that's an N.
Further analysis and another guess will require getting out of my recliner and looking at my notepad, which I'm not inclined to do quite yet. (Although I am getting hungry.)

Before I get into the analysis of the feedback, I'll throw in the next guess I had already written down before the feedback was given, although I now know it isn't as right as I thought it was. EXMINSONOPARE
Moving on, now. I won't explain all the logic, but I'm pretty sure you've as much as told me it's -----S-NOX--N.
Now, considering the clue about the group of 3 too left, I'm going to fill in PREM-S-NOX--N and see what's left. EIOA Hmm. 7 is not A or E. 5 is not E.
PREMESONOXIAN - something to do with being before the Mesozoic era. Worth checking with a dictionary site. Nope, nothing.

Hmm yes well, I realise now that there may have been some ambiguity in my phrasing on the N issue, which I might apologise for one day *airy wave*... or not... who knows.

Well - if you were looking for a definition like that, no wonder you drew a blank.
MESONOXIAN "of or related to midnight."
That a search for the premesonoxian definition referring to before midnight also drew a blank, doesn't surprise me one bit either. Dictionaries are full of words that should be there but aren't.
Any way - congratulations on winning the jumble, David :) Your turn!
My apologies for the languishing word at seti :/ I will attend to unlanguishing it later today hopefully.

I actually had the forethought to drop the pre prefix and typed mesonoxian into dictionary.reference.com. It asked me if I meant mischoose. At the time, I left it at that. Now I tried it at oed.com and found the definition you have given.
Anyway, now that that's settled, I am just aflush with candidates for the next word. I shall choose one and put it in a new post.
Let me conclude this one, then, by (again?) mentioning the Word Scramble that runs on our monitors in the building. Yesterday, it said the category was Farm and the scrambled word was OATSG.
