Numbering systems

A simple voice resonates among the elderly, washing away the enigmatic as a rainfall clears the streets of muck.

Blue isn't a colour as much as it is a four letter word that has a third letter 'u'.

Obfuscating obstinately the orientalist was caught outbragging, outlearning, outmarching and outstriding the outpatients.

Question: How many eleven letter words starting with the letter 'o' are there?

OBFUSCATE: 1.to confuse, bewilder, or stupefy. 2. to darken

Today I learnt a new word. Many of your posts leave me obfuscated.

Why Oh Why do you always have to complicate everything?

deb: Some of my posts are meant to obfuscate; fortunately not all of them are.

handmaiden: First, I do not complicate everything, I only complicate the things that I complicate, second, I do it because it occasionally serves a purpose to activate my reader's thinking.
