Hi Randy,

Expectorate, micturate and micturition are all listed as primary words in 
Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, Second College 
Edition.  This volume is just a snick more than 2" thick.  My version is 
Copyright 1980, 10th printing... old yes, but for anything not related to 
the Internet, more than adequate.  Besides, for the newer stuff you can Google.

I wonder why "micturate" has the suffix "-ate" which is the ending used for 
words derived from 1st conjugation Latin verbs when the derivation of the 
word is "micturire", a 4th conjugation verb.

Are you beginning to wish you'd never asked??  <bg>
