  Would you mind checking my capitals too? Please?
• 5 days ago john said:
  Hi pro, sorry for the delayed response. Profile links seem to be working now. Tomorrow I'll look into what happened with your decapitalization—it was an accident. We changed a bunch of the plumbing a few weeks ago, which went smoothly overall (nobody seemed to notice, the ideal response), but it caused that regression. And lastly, trying to figure out why the links are broken in multi-word tweets, will hopefully have a fix soon.
  
  Thanks again for the input--I've been behind on correspondence, but I really appreciate it.

  If I neglected to say so earlier, you know I ♥ you, Pro. Thanks for your kind words about my lame blog.

  I would explain everything, including the meaning of life, but your account is now set up as private.
  One suggestion for the future: OpenOffice.org has a "Writer" application, compatible with all operating systems. People can make nice bulleted and numbered lists there, with the huge advantage that no buggers can read or add anything unless you want.

  Just stopping by to thank you for your work as wordieternity historian. I was just reading iroquoisy and thinking about how nice it is when folks provide background information to those of us who stumble through later--you're good at it, and it's helpful. Thank you!

  no problemo. joined to contribute to 'hazards of spell czech' list and have just discovered a few other areas and contributed some more. there are some pretty trigger-happy commenters on here considering it's my first day… :)

  Say, Pro, how did you get a part of speech named for you?
• about 1 month ago bilby said:
  That might work too :-) The joke, friends, is that my new flatmate's name means mouse in Italian. And Topolino is Mickey Mouse.
• about 1 month ago hernesheir said:
  How about Topo Gigio!
• about 1 month ago bilby said:
  Haha!
• about 1 month ago bilby said:
  Come Saturday I will have a new flatmate: a diminutive African guy called Topo. Do you think I can get away with calling him Topolino?

  Hi Pro, would you mind emailing me a link to that spam site? You're right, we have nothing to do with it, but we'll take every step we can to have it taken down.
  
  We've been under increasing attack from spammers, as you know, and are taking steps to deal with it. It helps a lot when you alert us to things like this--thanks much for making us aware of it.

  John has hairballs.
• 2 months ago john said:
  Hi Pro, I know I sound like a broken record when I say this, but merging and disambiguation for case and other kinds of variants (plurality, tense, abbreviations, etc.) is high on our priority list. We're in the midst of implementing it in fact, but it's a bit of a hairball and it will be a little while longer before we can release the first version.

  I am currently working on a brand new list that is at the same time going to be a Flickr set and a blog. Quite a big project, huh?
  But I won't start it until Wordnik is 100% functional - I can't have unicode limitations or broken links for such a multi-platform project!

  Also, I've made a support ticket for the lists that begin with a bullet. I don't have an ETA on them, but they are on our to-do lists.
• 4 months ago grant_barrett said:
  Prolagus, all of the lists you mentioned in bugs as missing have now been restored, thanks to John.

  http://www.wordnik.com/lists/italian-politics
  http://www.wordnik.com/lists/scientific-papers-with-delightful-titles
  
  By the way, Wordnik's equivalent for "red-phone"-level bug-reporting and fixing will henceforth be the Feedback account page. That page will be monitored by multiple people throughout the day, which is not necessarily the case for the numerous other places bug reports are being left.

  Hi Pro:
  
  When I was at the university today, I met another Sardinian (Sardine?), who did his level best to try to convince me about the "virtues" of casu marzu.
  
  Fortunately, because of previous discussions on WordieClassic, I was not fooled.

  Hi, Prolagus! Could you edit your comment on my Letters list, to fix "ḍ as in puḍḍica"?
• 4 months ago whichbe said:
  I'm lowercase too. The Uppercase you Observe is because I put an Uppercase Letter in my First Name zone above which does not appear when I post Comments.

  Hi Pro! I didn't know there were two of you. When did you become paraphyletic?
• 5 months ago john said:
  Hi Pro, saw your comment on Wordnik. Wordie material hasn't yet moved over there, so for now I think it makes sense to just carry on wherever you want--for most of us here that means Wordie, I imagine. I don't think merging of comments and threads will cause much if any disruption at all when it happens.

  Lovely, sionnach. Hope you are having a good time there. I'm in Sardinia for the rest of the week, then back to New York City.

  I forgot about Alaska! And dontcry's place! Four invitations!
• 9 months ago sionnach said:
  Surely the other is my invitation to come visit me in San Francisco. Maybe pro isn't keeping an accurate count.
• 9 months ago skipvia said:
  I hope the other one is my invitation to Alaska.
• 9 months ago prolagus said:
  Thank you all for your support, and rolig, it would be great to come!
  And now it's two invitations I will be honored to accept someday.
• 9 months ago rolig said:
  Seriously, Pro, you're invited to visit anytime.
• 9 months ago reesetee said:
  After all, who needs paper?
• 9 months ago chained_bear said:

• 9 months ago reesetee said:
  Or you could post "I won't create my 51st list until I reach 5,000 comments." in 146 separate comments, irritate the heck out of the rest of us, and get your 5,000 comments! :-D
• 9 months ago chained_bear said:
  Aw, Pro, just create it on paper and type it in later. :) Why unnecessarily restrict your creative spirit?
• 9 months ago prolagus said:
  I won't create my 51st list until I reach 5,000 comments.
  I won't create my 51st list until I reach 5,000 comments.
  I won't create my 51st list until I reach 5,000 comments.
  I won't create...
• 10 months ago aaltoilu said:
  Oh yes, that comment comes from my own page; I'm horribly forgetful of what I write that late at night. Well, I'll do what I can do to provide you with one; although as a forewarning, I lack much co-ordination, so it might be a bit of a farce!
  
  All the best,
  &c
• 10 months ago aaltoilu said:
  Hi there, Prolagus:
  
  Thank you for your kind welcome; I am glad that you like my first comments here.
  
  I assure you that I am a brand new user, althoughI'd be intrigued, however, to see the person(s) who you thought I might have been. Is that what the puppet show comment is about, or is there just a higher than average number of ventriloquists here? Either way, I'm probably not the best at puppet shows; sorry if this is a dissapointment.
  
  All the best,
  Aaltoilu
• 10 months ago rolig said:
  Thanks, Pro, for your comment on my Slovene idioms list. By the way, if on your travels you ever plan or want to visit Slovenia (just to the east, north, and south of Trieste), let me know!
• 10 months ago sionnach said:
  Hi, Pro!
  
  I will be in London as well next week, but only for 3 hours in Heathrow. I have no doubt our paths will cross eventually, but most likely in the U.S. That is, assuming you go through with those doctoral plans in the autumn.
  
  In the meantime, buen viaje. I am currently in Drogheda, where the blessed Oliver Plunkett fell martyr to Cromwell's evil genocidal tendencies.

• 11 months ago marldem said:
  grazie :)!
• 11 months ago chained_bear said:
  Actually, the reason I didn't make a pasta list in the first place is because others were doing it. But on Friday, I had to get the grisly disgusting stuff I was reading about gladiators out of my head, and that's the first new list I could think of.
  
  Besides, everyone's lists are different in some way--one of the coolest things about Wordie. Don't let that stop you, if someday you decide to make one. :)
• 11 months ago prolagus said:
  It's a pleasure. I was tempted to start my own pasta list once, but there's probably no need now. (I may start tagging "Italian" some of the entries.)
• 11 months ago chained_bear said:
  Pro, thanks for adding notes (however many you want) to the Pasta la Vista list words. I appreciate your expertise in the matter! :)

  Also, here's hoping no one you know was caught up in the Abruzzo earthquake. (I have some distant relatives in that area and I'm worried....)

  Hi Pro! I hope you don't mind that I used some of your fine Latin expressions on my blog (with credit, of course):
  Latin for the traveler redux .
  If you would like to be credited some other way (e.g. more, or less, anonymously), please let me know and I will make the necessary edit.

• about 1 year ago prolagus said:
  Wow, 3002 words added!
• about 1 year ago mechanolatry said:
  I was writing my own definitions, and I guess I got oversensitive when people told me it was pointless basically. So I deleted the majority of them already, which hurt because I had done a lot of research.
  Also, I liked that I was tagging words by alphabet, but some did not, so there was that.
  
  I know I overreacted, but IRL is a bit stress-filled at the moment, so it probably spilled over onto here.
• about 1 year ago frogapplause said:
  Pro: Did I hurt your feelings? Should John add "no calling fellow Wordies 'duckface'" to the tos?

• about 1 year ago john said:
  Pro, thanks much for drawing my attention back to Forvo--I finally added a link to them on each word. They contacted me last year, and it got lost in my inbox--their email arrived the same week as my daughter. A lot of things fell through the cracks that week :-)
• about 1 year ago nycanthro said:
  Nycanthro is NYC (because I live in Brooklyn) plus ANTHRO (because I was an anthropology/ethnology major many moons ago). I checked your Flickr link. You're a Brooklynite too?! Awesome. Small world. What 'hood are you from?
  
  P.S. that Sailor Moon list is hilarious. The mere IDEA is funny enough. I think I might change my story regarding the derivation of my name now. Also, why did you choose to name yourself after a defunct branch of the rabbit family (I had to look it up, obviously).

  Hi Pro. Did you find somewhere for your weekend break?
• over 1 year ago prolagus said:
  Prolagus needs a break from the City. If you know some nice country place, not too far from NYC (less than a 2-hour train/bus trip), and feel like recommending it, please contact me via facebook/Flickr mail/comment on my blog/whatever. Thank you, I love you!

• over 1 year ago rolig said:
  You may well be right about moda, Pro. Many words have come into Slovene from Italian (or Venetian or Friulian). I am not sure when the word came into Slovene, but my guess would be in the pre-WWII period, when "fashion" meant Paris and only Paris. Could it be that Italian borrowed the word (or its use to mean "high fashion") from French?

  We must add voluntary Wordie rationing to Wordie PRO!

  Don't worry, Prolagus, we'll be here for you when you take (very short) breaks. And don't worry about "keeping up," as if there were such a thing. :) Study, man! Kick some butt!

  Today, something happened.
  I arrived home, opened Wordie, and the amount of words and conversations I should read to stay up to date was just too big, since I must study.
  It was a revelation: I should really, really study harder. I've been spending too much time here, lately, and I can't go on like this.
  I'll try to be a good boy, for a while, and connect less frequently.
  I miss you already...

  FWIW, I thought it was adorable too. :)

  I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or sincere when you called one of my list names "adorable." "He was a verray, parfit gentil knyght" is a quote from Chaucer. I guess I just don't think of it as "adorable." :)

  Best lists ever. Even if I am all new and impressionable.

  Hola Pro! Good luck on your GRE's.
  
  I'm headed home to drink a brandy in memory of David Foster Wallace. Crying in the internet café is not really helping anyone.
