• about 3 months ago, PossibleUnderscore said: HaHa gangerh!!! I get it now! Gee, it took me long enough, but Underscores aren't very quick at the best of times. ;-)
• about 3 months ago, plethora said: Actually PU, there's no real rule about where you reply. Everyone decides for themselves where they will carry on their conversations and most of us seem to chage our minds pretty regularly.
  
  And maybe you should put off waiting for that comment for a few days, hmm? Don't want to seem too motivated or anything. Sit back, relax.
• about 3 months ago, PossibleUnderscore said: Hey gangerh! I'm still waiting for the comment on procrastination, then I figured I'm not supposed to reply to you on my own profile. whoops, teehee...well, I'm still sorta new here.
• about 7 months ago, gangerh said: Hey, [shane wanna'by], would love to bat to your bowling! As I'm a fan of yourn, then, you've a good chance of your flip hitting! (What are you doing retiring from Test cricket when you do THAT in the IPL?)
  'Twas the first match of the season here Saturday just gone and am still getting selected for the 2nd team. At 63, wow! Us 137 for 7, them 131 all out with 4 overs to spare. Very exciting game and I scored 6. So without me it would have been a tie! HaHa!
• about 7 months ago, bilby said: I was thinking of you today. It's early in the season, the training sessions are underway but a few have been washed-out. I sit at my desk, trying to get the leggies going as I mentally compose my next Wordie post. Ok so far, let's try the top-spinner. Hmmmm, a bit loopy but might bowl head-in-the-air johnnies. It's hot here, still 27C at midnight. Let's have a go at the wrong 'un. Nice, I like it! Hey, this season I might even try to bowl a flipper ...
  U4+@Y&^&8yu%$#!!!!!
  
  Even seen the flip hit the fan?

• about 1 year ago, jennarenn said: See, I am glad that other people practice woga, because I do not. I need other people's words (and brilliant definitions of pressure) to keep me going. :)
• about 1 year ago, frogapplause said: Like yarb, I practice woga (wordie yoga). I try to balance my comments and words listed. I'm slightly UNBALANCED right now... because I have more comments than words.
  
  Worst of all, if I don't get my woga working, I'll end up as unbalanced as bilby.

• about 1 year, 3 months ago, bilby said: Gangerh! I should take a swab! You murdered the field in taking FIRST PRIZE in Identify the Wordie #2, comfortably doubling the score of your nearest rival. And boy, have I got a prize for you! I've gone to great trouble, scouring the online auction sites of the world, to bring you a unique and valuable phrase. You've won a big fuck-off yellow underwater light transformer on toast! Display with pride, buddy. Congratulations!
  
• about 1 year, 4 months ago, bilby said: Hi. Would you like to be on Identify the Wordie #2? You'll need to email identifythewordie@yours.com with your Wordie nick and the single word that best describes you. Cheers!
• about 1 year, 4 months ago, gangerh said: We only toast at The Verbal Arms, bilby. See our newly-introduced selection on the list Propose a Toast @ The Verbal Arms.

• about 1 year, 6 months ago, gpax said: Thanks for the welcome, gangerh!
  
  I am just poking around and checking out all I can do here - very impressed so far.
  
  Good to read John's comment (bottom below) on citations - I added extelligence early on and am glad it meets his stringent policies... :P
  
  :D

• about 1 year, 7 months ago, oroboros said: gangerh: re: your 'sugar puff' experience, serendipity's somehow involved, don'tcha think? See serendipitoast.
• about 1 year, 10 months ago, vanishedone said: WeirdNet tells us that a citation is also a kind of racehorse. Unfortunately I don't think HTTP POST was designed with them in mind.
  
  Seriously: citations are references, like my comment on counterknowledge to show where I found it/what it means/how it's used. Just the source would have counted as a citation, but illustrative quotations are nice when you find them.
• about 1 year, 10 months ago, treeseed said: Hi gangerh. Welcome to Wordie.
  I am a newby here, too. I also had trouble understanding what a citation was intended to be...and then I went insane and made so many citations...I was a kid in a candy store!
  
  Citations are anything you put in the comment box of a word. Some of them are real notes about the word or its history and some are your personal observations about a word. Some are jokes. Some are free-association things...bits of poetry or song or literature that the word appears in or brings to mind. Some are just conversations between wordies...chit chat...for fun.
  
  I hope to see you around.
• about 1 year, 10 months ago, john said: Just replied to your last question on my profile. Maybe Wordie needs to rip off Facebook's "wall-to-wall" feature :-)
• about 1 year, 10 months ago, john said: Hi gangerh, to my mind a citation is a sourced quote. If this was an academic journal that would mean strict rules about formatting, etc. It's not, thank God, so just a link or the simplest of attributions (like the book the quote is from) suffices. See the first comment on plethora.
  
  When Wordie first hit the airwaves it was, well, just me, so there was no one to talk to. As more people joined the party the comments/citations field has been used more for chatting, which is fine by me. I leave the 'citation' language up there, though, because it's used for both, and I really like it when people dig up--or make up--good usages.
  
  Any suggestions for how this dual use can be made more clear to newcomers?
