I'm not sure what to name this game, but "Corruption" sounds suitable; so I'll use that.

The rules are simple:[LIST=1]

One word per post.
The word must be English, or have an English pronounciation.
The word has to be at least ten characters in length.
Please try to keep the spelling correct. This includes accent marks.

Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop (Thailand Has World's Longest Place Name) - it's an actual location in Thailand. I didn't know they spoke Infernal over there . . .

"Not surprisingly, only a handful of Thais can remember such a mouthful, although the abbreviated TRANSLATION of the whole is a relatively brief Jewelled city of the god Indra. However, most Thais simply refer to it as Krung Thep, City Angels."

This game's not over until... well, once all the English words at least ten characters in length are posted!

I should have mentioned this earlier: Each word can only be used once!

Now: medication

Since you posted again, are we allowed to play more than once? I could do this all day; after all, I am noted for my sesquipedalian tendencies ;-)
