In a recent contribution to the GENDER question from Sally Webster
<ACDSPW@SUVM> she used a word I've not come across before ...
"to glom onto the newest technological language"
Is "glom" correct or was it a typo? I hope not ... to glom sounds such
a nice verb! Has it any history - or is it just another of those words
that appear 'on the streets' in the US and hasn't yet crossed over to
the UK?
I would like to hear of any background to glomming (is that right?).

like to get in touch with him/her. Please contact me directly.
