    The last word on "penultimate"

    Derek Cohen's thread (https://sawmillcreek.org/search.php?searchid=13554582) got me thinking about the use of the word, penultimate. I hope he used the word in the way I understand it, because it means there are more posts to come.

    I always thought penultimate means next to last.

    However, I have heard more than one woodworker use it in a way that implies it to mean the last or the best; Dyami Plotke's website is called the Penultimate Woodshop.

    I don't mean to cast penaspersions at anyone...
