"I told the precedence of the PTO that I would be happy to work the concession stand as long as she made it inaccessible to the procession of customers."

Huh? No good? And why not?

It is EXCEEDINGLY exciting to intercede that you must concede that I have SUCCEEDED in accessing another 'cedo' word from the procession of derivatives thereby setting a precedent for future incessant sentence makers.

I was going to say that I seem to be a little obsessive* about using lots of the derivatives, but * is not a 'cedo' word.
