Thanks, I should have checked.
-
Oh, and brackets around "Zeitmunity," please.
-
I'm glad you visit often. :-)
We could just start up some new threads--have you come across any interesting words lately? (You are good at finding ones that are iroquoisy.) -
I less than three you.
-
Guys! You should really be kind.
-
When I think of you, I think cunt.
-
Hi! I hope your Friday 13th was unlucky.
-
I (heart) you, too.
-
This was only <3 and an apostrophe...
-
-
(that was actually <3 x 3)
-
<3
-
ok, <3 and apostrophe. that is the issue.
-
test 6
it would be easier to t STOP -
test 5
it would be easier to <3 you back if it didn STOP -
test 4
it would be easier to t take me STOP -
test 3
it would be easier to <3 you back STOP -
Oh, that worked!
-
test:
OK, there's something wrong with <3 in a sentence. -
OK, there's something wrong with "less than 3" in a sentence.
-
test:
it would be easier to t take me 5 minutes just to find the comment section -
I wrote something like "it would be easier to (heart) you back if it didn't take me 5 minutes just to find the comment section"
-
Where? Which part?
-
This is NOT what I wrote!
-
It would be easier to section...
-
<3

Pro, for your question about comments on tags, try writing Erin directly by email (erin (at) wordnik.com) -- if you haven't already.
-
Pro, I just went to my own profile and changed my preferences in order to hide my lookups from "the public." The first time it didn't take, but the second time it did.
-
:-)
-
Thank you for your kind comments.
At SUNY, you would have a different link to OED. -
Thanks for the input; I updated zeke.sikelianos.com
-
Maybe you were thinking about my Geek Culture list?
-
-
Thanks, Pro. I do poke my nose in from time to time. Hope you're doing well.
-
Thanks pro--will check out the Twitter link thing tonight.
-
Thanks much for those bug reports, they were super userful--the loop bug and profile link on mobile should be fixed.
-
Just fixed the mobile login issue, I think--let me know if it's still giving you trouble.
-
Hi Pro, no, absolutely not--I'm sorry I haven't been more responsive. A series of the issues you reported fell into the bermuda triangle zone where they weren't absolute showstoppers, nor were they two minute fixes, so I made a mental note to get to them and have been slow about it.
Though coincidentally, I'm moving some new stuff into production later tonight, including fixes for a handful of the things you've mentioned recently. The mislabeled link when comments appear on word pages is fixed, and most embedded video should start working again too--we upgraded some internal components, and the new versions had stricter embedding policies, which I've adjusted. -
-
Mine go unanswered. For months. Probably forever. And bilbies don't live a long time in captivity.
Edit: 6 months. I realise I may be guilty of the odd nonce comment that doesn't require responding, but there are serious suggestions that have been sitting there for 6 months. -
Yes. You are.
-
You are adorable.
-
Howdy do to you, too. :-)
Have you had anything exciting for breakfast lately? -
You cannot escape the charge that you have previously engaged in the amazing pastime that is IDENTIFY THE WORDIE.
You are therefore prime target material for inviting to IDENTIFY THE WORDIENIK.
The whole of the bit of Wordnik that joins in on this would be truly honoured should you participate this time round.
Easily find the right page right now because it is currently the most commented on list shown on the Community page. -
Has anyone ever made a list of iroquoisy words?
-
In answer to your comment at "brogan", asking where the proper name entries I had mentioned were, I entered the following:
To Progasus: They were removed, along with my complaint (as it should). I am gratified to see that comments are attended to. However, in this case, although the capitalized entries were apparently blanket removed, the three citations one first sees are also useless for other reasons. Although I can appreciate that culling the caps is a practical approach, it is not a substitute for reviewing the examples. -
Le corne! Le corne!

devil horns hand sign .. |m| or \m/.

deinonichus: your link led me to "scientific classification", which has a reference to Aristotle, whose page is under "beekeepers", which has a "Ukrainian beekeepers" subcategory.
Thank you so much.

Prolagus commented on the word fanwanking
When continuity mistakes have been made, explanations are often proposed by either writers or fans to smooth over discrepancies. Fans sometimes make up explanations for such errors that may or may not be integrated into canon; this has come to be colloquially known as fanwanking (a term originally coined by the author Craig Hinton to describe excessive use of continuity). Often when a fan does not agree with one of the events in a story (such as the death of a favorite character) they will choose to ignore the event in question so that their enjoyment of the franchise is not diminished. When the holder of the intellectual property discards all existing continuity and starts from scratch it is known as rebooting. Fans call a less extreme literary technique that erases one episode the reset button.

And I less than three you! Miss you guys. You know how it feels sometimes, though... I visit often but can't find anything to add to the conversation.
I really wish there was an easier way to follow threads. If you don't spend lots of time here, you have to open all links on the Zeitmunity page. There has to be a different way!

Prolagus commented on the word never put your banana in the refrigerator
Did I ever tell you that I found bilby's reddish bananas at the food coop where I volunteer? They are ok, firmer indeed, and less obviously sweet – or maybe just as sweet, only there's something else I can't quite describe.
