vanishedone I'll try them from outside the university network when I take my laptop home over Christmas. Nov 19, 2009
grantbarrett The prons play for me, too, in two browsers on two OSes. Weird. Nov 19, 2009
uselessness That is weird. I'm running Safari on a Mac and it works fine for me, FWIW. Nov 18, 2009
vanishedone You'd think so, but it's not only cross-browser but happening on two different OS installations. Nov 18, 2009
uselessness That's a shame, as it's one of my favorite things about having been Wordnikized. Hope you or the devs get it figured out soon (though it sounds like a client-side issue to me). Nov 18, 2009
vanishedone Trouble is, as mentioned on (I think) bugs I can't actually hear the pronunciations. Nov 18, 2009
uselessness We can leave our marks on words without composing scintillating comments. Yesterday I went on a small rampage of recording pronunciations for every thing Random Word threw at me (apart from foreign stuff I knew better than to guess at). I had particular fun with online handles and product names. I heartily encourage others to do the same.
If you're in a good environment for recording the audio (sometime I am, sometimes I'm not) you should do this for every word you ever come across. It only takes a few seconds. If there's already a "professional" recording for the word, and your accent/pronunciation is the same as it, there's no need to be redundant. But my experience with the random feature has been that the fast majority of words on the site have no accompanying audio at all. Nov 18, 2009
vanishedone The awkward part is thinking up suitably scintillating things to say when there are so many surnames, online handles and product names in the database. Random word searches are less fun than on Wordie Classic, to be honest, although watching the left-hand Zeitgeist column go by is sometimes a workable substitute. Nov 18, 2009
uselessness Seeing as how the Wordnik database is much larger than Wordie's (albeit in questionable ways), I feel compelled to leave my fingerprints on as much of it as possible. Not even my own prints are necessary, really; This site feels so barren in so many places that dusting as much of it as possible with even the slightest traces of humanity just seems like the ethical thing to do. Comments, pronunciations, whatever. Anything to reduce the cold, spidery feel of it all. Nov 18, 2009
