I think filling out is my pet hate, and for some reason over the last few years they seem to be getting harder to do, and definitely more complicated. I suppose I’m nearly a formophobiliac
I definitely have formophobia. Thanks for all your words, Ivors.

Great new word for a new world, Derrick.
Preformance anxiety! When we go to a new MD these days we’re handed a tablet to fill out with a stylus. Mostly they are multiple choice, with a few areas to be filled in with a keyboard. I’m the designated filler-outer of such forms now, and the paper ones as well. Love your neologisms!
Love all your words, Sunny!
Gratitude is going to stick with me today. I’ll be alert to Halloweenies over the next month 😊 Thank you Ann!
Thanks for being Valert!
Good one!

I have formophobia for sure. I break out in a cold sweat and my heart beats rapidly when I need to fill something out. Like a little kid getting an exam sheet in school
It’s not new that I relate to you, Lisa!
I have form for ignoring forms.
Good form, Alex.
Nothing makes me happier than learning new words, except possibly the opportunity to use those new words, and “photogsynthesis” especially is one I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use since your blog always presents groups of photographs in ways that illuminate, clarify, and entertain.
Nothing makes me happier than a comment like this from you, Chris.
