I guess it&#039;s <i>technically</i> correct, but I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll be adopting that usage just yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite is &quot;deliquescent&quot; -- so hygroscopic, it turns into a puddle if you leave it out. Calcium chloride will do this; keep your ice-melt sealed tightly![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
