[Fictionary] PIGWIDGEON recount results

[eLLioTT morEton]

Dear Fictionary,

Right, I screwed up the tally pretty bad.  Here are the corrected returns, 
which, as Fran and Jean-Joseph pointed out, show a three-way tie between 
Fran, Jean-Joseph, and Pierre.  Pierre has suggested the following:

``J-J picked celatone in 2015-08, preceded shortly by Grounation Day. I 
picked sacbe/zemi-john in 2015-02. Fran picked hobday in 2014-10. I 
propose therefore that Fran pick a word, and if someone knows it then I 
pick a word, and if someone knows it then J-J pick a word.''

That sounds fine to me, so as lame-duck roundmeister, I hereby ordain that 
it be made so.  Fran?

Apologies again for screwing that up, yall.

Regards,
em
