Is that really one word??? It looks to me more like a contraction, in which case it would be two. Regardless, it's an immortal contraction/word/words/whatever.  |

A contraction is a word formed from two or more words by omitting or combining some sounds -- ergo ipso facto, D'OH! is one word. However, it may simply be a fancifully spelled onomatopoeia.
I can't believe I'm actually discussing this!  The foolishness doesn't cease the day after. |

Well I've certainly got egg on my face! I fell for it hook, line and sinker. After all the Sibelius forum is now a big part of my life--that was a bold joke Kurki. -kp

I really thought the announcement was for real for a little bit, but then I remembered it was April 1...and then I knew Kurki was up to something.
Yes, this forum is a big part of my life too...I have come to love it here. I could not live without it!

Daffy, Bugs & his cohorts could well have been my introduction to classical music -- "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit...." |
