Hmmm - Mike is enjoying his

Hmmm - Mike is enjoying his squares :) *make note to pop to Harrods this year* Oh.

Oh!

*make note of gratuitious mentioning of unmentionable a-n-d elevate nose*

I think you'll find the answer here, David...

When I say here I mean there *point at there down there*

OsoppiestHind – consequence of a malfunctioning bidet

Poisstpoinedh – one of the more unusual words making use of a silent H ending – dialect possibly northeastern USA to account for the o becoming an oi. Means to delay or put something off for a bit.

PoipHedonists – an exclusive and extremely secret sect of pleasure seekers given to inhaling things through pipes. Believed to be established somewhere in the northeast of America

HippoOnDeists - adherents to a group of deists who hold an unusual perspective on the nature of a creator - as being somewhat hippo-ish in both appearance and temperament

Giving the guesses thus far

Giving the guesses thus far numbers in the order they were posted (so I don't have to type them out again):

1 - five correct, with four in a row (there may be a bonus clue related to this one later, if it becomes necessary)
2 - three
3 - four
4 - one
5 - one
6 - zero
7 - zero
8 - one
9 - zero
10 - one
11-14 - three each
15-17 - two each

Three different letters are correct six times each, although all three of them are correct at the same time only twice.

You have struck out completely on positions 2, 5, 7, and 13.

There, that should be something for the logic charts to work with.

has become necessary.

The bonus clue is: there are two adjacent letters that, if switched with each other, would make the total seven with six in a row.

I bet Mike or Chris can make something of that. (I'm sure Admiral could if he were here (and I suspect he is lurking here).)

Two of these are adjacent.

Not much better with 1, 6, and 12.

Am I too late... _ _ _ _

Am I too late...

_ _ _ _ O _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ O T H _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ O _ S _ _ _ _ _ _

As you can see, I am very confident about that O

But that was days ago ... and I never finished...

SPIDOTSIPHENO - Italian variety of proboscis-spider, easily identifiable by its purple dot, which is larger than itself.

DEINOTHOPSIPS - dinosaur with protruding bottom lip that would have resulted in particularly noisy slurping of tea and other beverages... oh... except there can't be an s at the end...

*slump dejectedly in corner* and I haven't looked at your new clues either...

Nope. Everyone else went into hibernation waiting for you to come back.

You might be very confident about it, but you are also very wrong. One of the other three letters above is correct.

18 - four
19 - six, a new record for this word

Those three letters that had six correct occurrences are now eight, eight, and seven.

[edit]
You finally have a base hit on positions 2 and 7. Still nothing on 5 and 13.
