  Dear Santa,
  
  Thanks for my Christmas presents--the fluffy bilby and the chained_bear are my favoritest presents ever! Now that the Christmas season is over, I was just wondering if there's any chance you might be able to allow one of your elves to come visit us--specifically the elf who makes great comments, wears foofy princess dresses, and can speak Latvian.
  
  Sincerely, ruzuzu

  How did you guess, Dontcry? I'm an elvin princess! *twirls around in her foofy princess dress*
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  are you an elf?
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Maybe I'll add some Latvian words some time later this year. I don't want to start creating entirely new lists just now, as I'm going to be moving away in two weeks, and will be AWOL from the internets for a while until everything's settled (that will probably take a couple of months, I suppose).
  
  One meow added as per request (see your new and improved list here).
  
  And I'd love for you to engage in some wild speculations! *g* The second part of my nick does Mean Something. Er, well, not really – I've borrowed it form a certain book we've all read. Or should have read *g*
• about 2 years ago bilby said
  Hi Mia, are you going to add some Latvian words? I'd love to see some and I'm sure there are others here who would also enjoy the enlightenment. Meanwhile, please miao for me here.
  P.S. Does your nick mean anything, or should sionnach and I commence wild speculation?

  Oh... ha, thanks, B_C! I ♥ your snails!

  Sorry, but for me, the delete option is nowhere in sight, and I've tried everything.
  
  Thanks, I'll do that! I'm constantly confusing those two words.
• about 2 years ago johnmperry said
  I use IE and I get delete option after I have edited a comment.
  
  btw check the difference between alternate and alternative
• about 2 years ago brookdale_chick said
  Why are you so smart??
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Nope. There is no delete link for me, either real or imaginary :/ Could this be attributed to a different browser? I'm currently using IE.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Click on "edit," then click the "edit" button that appears. You'll next see a "delete" link left of the original edit link.
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  But where do the option to delete the comment pops up, then? Sorry for being a bit obtuse, my mind has been temporarily hijacked by a horde of lipstick-wielding aliens in tights.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  No, I just meant that you don't need to change anything in the field after you click on "edit."
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Hiya, Reesetee. So, it's all about maintaining a credible pretense, then? Sneaky, sneaky.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  You don't even need to edit it; just pretend you're going to. :-) Welcome, Mia.
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it to me! It really works? It's quite a roundabout way to go about it; I don't suppose there was a way for me to infer it.
• about 2 years ago johnmperry said
  To delete a comment:
  First of all edit it, to reduce it to e.g. one letter.
  Then after you press the edit button, you are offered a chance to delete. When you select that, you are asked to confirm.
  Et voilà
• about 2 years ago jennarenn said
  Daaaang girl. You have more words in one week than I've listed in more than a year!
• about 2 years ago brookdale_chick said
  You are smart......

  I sleep best when I shouldn't, for example, when there's a lot of work or studying to do, and currently everything's finished, which accounts for my total lack of desire to sleep. I mean, what's the point? Sleep is more valuable when my precious work time is spent indulging in it.
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  Pro, sleepless still, even at home? :(
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Pity you can't just wake one up and pester them until they start posting words and lists.
  
  So you speak Italian?
• about 2 years ago prolagus said
  I actually decided to move to Sardinia just to have more wordies on line when I'm sleepless at night.
• about 2 years ago seanahan said
  Sleep is for the weak.
• about 2 years ago bilby said
  fee-ee-ee-ee-ww-ww-ww-kreng!
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  It looks like all the wordies are sleeping.
  
  It's oh so quiet (shh, shh)
  It's oh so still (shh, shh)
  You're all alone (shh, shh)
  And so peaceful until...
  
  :)

  I figured :)
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  I am very brave.
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  I know, I went and looked at your profile. Does it mean that you never cry? What do you do then, when the mood for crying strikes? Fight it off bravely? Don't mind me, just asking :)
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  No, I just don't like crying.
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  No, in no way am I related to or affiliated with Midlothian, Virginia, though it is a beautiful name. And uh, hello you, too!
  
  And is your name a subtle and genteel passive-aggressive suggestion to random people out there to cease their sniveling and cheer up a bit? *g*
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  Mia - there's a Midlothian, Virginia. Are you related?;)
  
  Welcome.
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Thanks, I'll do that! It seems that it's not easy to find out how to navigate around here on Wordie on your own, you've got to know all these nifty things first – thanks for help, and hi! :)

  Try the Meta list and the meta tag page for the rest of the manual. (/tags/faq has never been used much.)
• about 2 years ago bilby said
  Don't fret Mia. We're pretty easy to get along with. Welcome, have fun.
• about 2 years ago chained_bear said
  No problem. It might be worth looking around a bit, though. Some of the more historic pages that offer insight into how this site works (which isn't like any other site I've seen) are bugs and features. (Read from bottom to top, if you haven't noticed that already.) There's also a list of suggested "rules" someplace, though there really are no rules on Wordie, except "be nice." :)
  
  It isn't that you're flooding anything. But everything you enter, whether comment or word, appears within a minute or two on the front page. :)
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  It just occurred to me that I'm probably flooding all those poor unsuspecting folks who've innocently subscribed to the Wordie's Recent comments and citations feed – I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! :)
• about 2 years ago mialuthien said
  Oh, thank you! :) I didn't even look around, to tell the truth. All these words I'm adding here have already been posted on my LiveJournal first, I'm just transferring them here for easier viewing.
  
  I haven't yet fully figured out how this Wordie-thing works, so thanks for your advice!
• about 2 years ago chained_bear said
  Hi MiaLuthien! Welcome to Wordie. I hope you stay with us and enjoy the site!
  
  You may not have noticed the 12 icons below each word on a word page. Each of those takes the user to a dictionary. So you may want to reserve your valuable comment-entering time to enter usage notes, unusual definitions not in any dictionary, or other text, rather than entering a definition on each word page.
  
  Just an idea. Welcome!
