I asked about the meaning of 'plexity' within the context of 'Those M&D 
words' investigation. I still have many unknown words in my notebook and 
hope to get back to them in the near future. The procedure is simple: 
Webster's Dictionary (Why OED is unavailable online for free? The biggest 
Spanish online dictionary www.rae.es can be accessed free of charge, btw.) - 
Google - P-list (last hope). I couldn't enjoy M&D properly because of all 
those words, somehow it turned out to be more demanding linguistically than 
GR, the irony of it: while preparing for my first reading of M&D I read 
Tristram Shandy as the sample in the period language, as it turned out it 
didn't help a bit.
