Think I should update for the nth time this weekend? Nah...don't think I could say anything useful at the moment. I'd love to say something, but I better let myself stew in my own crypticism/crypticness/crypticality/erm is there a word?

Good race by the way...nice crashes. Me happy!

Tell me about it. I'm still writing lessons for school tomorrow. Just need one more damn romantic daffodil poem that a dyslexic 12 year old can handle

I agree with you in principle - but in this case UK-English doesn't have a noun form of cryptic. US-English does. So it makes sense that if you're looking for a noun form of cryptic you'd go with the one already in use, even if it wasn't coined in the UK. If you're dealing with a choice of words (illusory vs illusionary) then yes, you'd probably go for the one most popular in your own country, though not necessarily so - and even less so now the internet is creating its own wierd hybrid form of English. Still, it's all tom-ah-to, tom-ay-to, really!
