@obsteve
I notice that now a lot of isms are out of alphabetical order.
But I really don't know what the rule is here, because when
this was initiated, I saw that the first group was in that order.
So now, can we just throw in any ism we want anywhere
we want, or should we start another with "tion"?
I do realize that to do this (ism) in alphabetical would now
be difficult, if not impossible.
