About me	"Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth." (V, V For Vendetta) I love words. Please, by all means, contribute to my lists! I read and consider all suggestions, and since I like my lists to be definitive, I'll probably use most of them. Some of my lists are objective, and anyone should be able to add to them. Others are subjective, and the inclusion of words is just a matter of my taste... but don't let that stop you from suggesting anything! Also, check out my web site (currently hibernating), as if you would ever want to leave Wordnik.

I don't know why I haven't come across it before. 8 months ago marky said Parker, thx for the additions to the 1 syllable animal list! Just saw them. 9 months ago abraxaszugzwang said Oh man, pronunciations! This'll get me hooked again. Well, Excuuuuuuuse me, princess! 9 months ago marky said dude I just about spit coffee all over my screen listening to some of your pronunciations. you officially rock! a few of my favs.. dreamy, latitudinarianism, toodly-doo, gorilla in your bedroom 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said I absolutely adore your pronunciation of choo choo train. It's so side-splittingly funny! 9 months ago abraxaszugzwang said Hey mate. I just reactivated my account, too. Good to see your name here. 10 months ago rolig said About my pronunciations: I didn't see how to preview them. But in any case, I think my microphone is fried. I am enjoying your pronunciations, by the way. 10 months ago yarb said Hello, cocker! Glad to see you back. 10 months ago uselessness said I actually put my name in there on purpose... maybe I should value my anonymity higher? Although, I use this name on so many web sites, if someone really wants to know who I am it won't be hard to sleuth. Why fight it? ;-) 10 months ago mollusque said Psst, your profile page is under your real name, so you might want to tweak your settings. You know, to keep up the uselessness mystique. 11 months ago gangerh said I played with your name. 11 months ago arcadia said This is the best news I've come across in recent memory: Uselessness returns to Wordie! over 1 year ago reesetee said Oh, he's alive. Check out the Wordie Facebook group. :-) over 1 year ago whichbe said Are you still alive? Should we have a Wordie wake? almost 2 years ago gangerh said And in my hour of uselessness over 2 years ago reesetee said Good grief. We've lost another one. over 2 years ago uselessness said Glad to be of service, Darth Treeseed. ;-) over 2 years ago treeseed said Thank you for your help with the Noxema/Noxzema debacle. I love this site. What fun! Words are so cool. over 2 years ago arcadia said Dhaero is pronounced "Dhare-oh", similar to "Dare-oh" but the "D" is slightly softer. Glad you're a fellow Dr.Paul supporter. I'm smitten by him, and am one of the "band of loyal supporters" creating tiny, colorful, handmade signs to stick around town. But it's not looking good for him. :( over 2 years ago arcadia said Thanks for compliments on Dhaero's name. I created the word but the root is "aero". (That's meant to be a diphthong in there, however, I don't yet know how to type it as such because I'm a technology looser). over 2 years ago reesetee said Zoiks! Welcome back...er...dangerousness. over 2 years ago bilby said Uselessness you're becoming such an essential part of modern life and its signature gadgetry. over 2 years ago uselessness said After eleven years of using this pseudonym around the internet, the first article about me has finally been written. over 2 years ago arcadia said Proud to say, the names on my marquee list are "madeupical", as far as I know. If any are already in use, the band is very obscure. Confession time: my list was inspired by your "band" list. But then you probably already suspected that. =^+^= over 2 years ago arcadia said Hi. You seem to be a large and engaging presence here; a good person to know when just joining. I like your lists very much and all else to be learned about you from your exchanges with other members. I adore words but am somewhat intimidated by the vast vocabularies of folks like yourself. My current mission here is to find a parsifal word to name my new son. His brothers are Odyssey and Meridian. Any ideas? almost 3 years ago jennarenn said jenna and rejen. problem solved. :) almost 3 years ago uselessness said That sounds good! Bet the guy made for interesting conversation, too... :-) almost 3 years ago cakemix said for vendetta... i once went to dinner with david lloyd it was an all you can eat vegan thai buffet! almost 3 years ago uselessness said Hey Jen! (Yikes, now there's two Jens around here tries not to get confused) So there's really no way to send private messages on Wordie yet, but yeah, a note on a profile is cool. Thanks for the kind words! I also enjoy rummaging through your letter-lists and finding nuggets of randomness. :-D almost 3 years ago rejeneration said I'm still trying to figure out the nuances of this message system, but 'Hi!' Your lists are a thing of beauty. -grin- - Jen almost 3 years ago titi said almost 3 years ago seanahan said I take full responsibility, I know better than to suggest such a thing. almost 3 years ago uselessness said Haha, that's hilarious! It's funny, I noticed that immediately after I finished the last line, the site went "down for maintenance" so I figured you were probably doing something like that. :-) Actually I was hoping you might, because while I love leaving that little rabbit trail as an easter egg for future generations to discover, I felt bad about cluttering things up with it all today. So, nice compromise. :-) almost 3 years ago john said Hi U, it cracks me up that you put the entirety of the beer song up, but I got a confused email from a new visitor, wondering what that was doing on a site for logophiles :-) I hope you don't mind, but I filtered most of them from the front page, so that it didn't completely overwhelm everything else for the weekend. Hope you don't mind -- email me if you do. about 3 years ago jennarenn said Oh, I was out most of last week, but Sera and erinoftheyear admirably stood in my stead. Now all we need is a pun war, and we'll be back in business. about 3 years ago reesetee said Thanks, oroboros! Looks like you really did have the site more or less to yourself last week, along with jennarenn. Great to see some infrequent and new posters also getting in on the fun, too. :-) about 3 years ago oroboros said Welcome back y'all. I felt like I had the site to myself last week! Zoomed to the top of the citations list. King for a day! Yay! about 3 years ago reesetee said I'm a usual suspect (I presume), and I was gone last week. But I'm back now too. Welcome back, uselessness. Hope you enjoyed your trip. :-) about 3 years ago jennarenn said Actually, I think we all timed it rather well. Many of the usual suspects were gone last week. about 3 years ago uselessness said I hate leaving on vacation because I miss all the fun on Wordie... but I'm back now. :-) over 3 years ago uselessness said Woohoo! One of these days maybe we'll have more players, but thanks jennarenn for joining in with me. So what do we really want to call the game? Will we forever just append a question mark? over 3 years ago reesetee said Huzzah! Congrats to u! Looked like a tough one to me (watching from the sidelines, hours later). over 3 years ago wordplay said uselessness has emerged victorious from round one of the incredible, the stupendous, the glorious, and tremendous inaugural lightning round of the yet-to-be-officially-named wordplay game, informally and affectionately known as Alphabet Soup(?). Well done. over 3 years ago uselessness said You're referring to, I suppose, this guy? I don't know... We never did find out who that was... ;-) over 3 years ago oroboros said Did somebody nail the screendoor shut? over 3 years ago uselessness said Welcome to Wordie! It's always nice to see a new face around here. :-D over 3 years ago patiomensch said This site is awesome! I'm glad I joined last night.
