Recommend addition/removal of words

[roymccoy]

@dan said in Recommend addition/removal of words:

@roymccoy Isn't this the thread/topic that started life as 'Please remove the word jew'? At some point I think the title was changed and general theme was expanded, either by the admins (most likely) or by the original poster.

I don't know, but it doesn't matter in regard to what Mistertoad and I are saying.

@l-j It is shown as a noun in the Cambridge as a TRADEMARK with a capital B. If trademarks are valid, what is wrong, by that reasoning, with KENMORE and BOEING......

[L J]

@jrp32 sorry, what is?

[roymccoy]

@l-j
eBay

[L J]

@roymccoy oh. Yeah that doesn't make sense. God knows what's going on. I don't think Lexulous even know themselves! Lmao.

[jrp32]

@l-j I think, that because it started with a lower case letter 'e' (eBay) as is the convention for electronic devices and services, that a robot troller picked it up as a "valid" word, instead of the proper noun that it is. -- just a guess, now......

[roymccoy]

@jrp32
I don't care. The discussion is pointless in any event as long as the implication remains that Lexulous has or is going to have its own vocabulary.

[A Former User]

@roymccoy Would find it very unlikely that lex would have own vocab in any language.

@jrp32 Proper nouns are not usable words

@betterlate1-0 And here I thought M-W was a dictionary!

[A Former User]

@mapmakere certainly is but I copied and pasted while I thought of it..after pouty was refused.

[A Former User]

@jsm using words or not using words are all a matter of choice but jew is always derogatory.

[A Former User]

nazi is not worthy of a proper noun

[L J]

@betterlate1-0 even if it's derogatory, it's still a word, isn't it? You cant just get the dictionary to remove words because you're offended by them.

[A Former User]

@l-j I did not say remove anything. It is all up to discretion of players.

[A Former User]

@mapmakere Merriam Webster is pouty

[Sproggle]

@betterlate1 It is both a proper noun and a common noun. E.g. it is used as a common noun when someone is called a "grammar nazi".

@lexulous You have many solfège syllables in your dictionary, but you are missing some of the 'movable do"chromatic syllables.

Chromatic solfège syllables can be either 'raised' or 'lowered' depending on whether you are ascending the musical scale or descending. Each non diatonic pitch (the black keys on the piano in the key of 'C') has two names (enharmonic spelling). The syllable you sing depends on the direction of the melody. You have some of these, but not all.

You are missing the following: ri (half step above re), ra (half step below re), fi (half step above fa), le (half step below la), se (half step below sol), and te (half step below ti).
