ReplyDeleteI fixed the spelling, so it might not be the words you're looking for, but I hope this helps:
ReplyDeleteproprietor: a person who has the exclusive right or title to something; an owner, as of real property.
residual: remaining; leftover.
incredulity: the quality or state of being incredulous; inability or unwillingness to believe.
try dictionary.com, because they'll ask if you mean something else in case you misspelled it.
also Syme is a person
ReplyDeleteThank you for the words. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, Opal. You're so slow. (jk) not really
