People who are frequent this site are passionate about words so maybe you picked up on that in a negative. I'm sure there was no malice intended. Your feminine mystique list looks promising, I hope it keeps growing. Cheers!

  New Wordies often need some guidance (see second comment here), mostly because most people (including me) don't pay much attention when they start. Their suggestion was meant to be helpful for you as well as all users, I believe.
  Sorry for the misunderstanding, and hope you'll start enjoying social activity on Wordie. If you really prefer not to interact with anyone, though, rather than joining a web community you should create a Word document with a bulleted list. Which in my opinion is a pity.

  I think tagging things 'v' is just fine, since I haven't added anything to let you browse words by letter. Tags are pretty open ended.

• about 10 months ago, vanishedone said: While we're giving you the introductory lecture treatment: you've set us wondering whether such a tag as v could ever be used comprehensively.
• about 10 months ago, rolig said: Hi, Mechano, welcome to Wordie! I just want to point out a couple of things about the site.
  First, there is a row of icons under each word which will take you to a definition of that word from several online dictionaries, so for ordinary words found in most dictionaries (e.g. voluptuary), you really don't need to provide a dictionary definition in your comment – unless of course, there is something special about your definition. It will probably be more helpful, to you and everyone else using the site, to provide a quotation showing the word being used, or perhaps your own personal thoughts (reactions, questions) about the word.
  The second thing (which I almost forgot) is that you may want to skim through the other comments on a word page before adding your own; you might find them interesting, or not, and have something new to add, and you will avoid repeating what has already been said.
  Feel free to ask my or anyone else for tips about using Wordie. And have fun!
