A-

I didn't think of quixotic as meaning idealistic but since the dictionary agrees I suppose I can let that one go.

I was just plain wrong about 'peruse', and apparently always have been. I was thinking it meant a quick read rather than a careful one (or just plain read).

Well, peruse would have got me, too.

It's a bit of a swizz, as the meaning of peruse has probably chnaged towards skimming now...

Plus some women would be extremely confused if I called them lithe.
