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 expanded, either by the admins (most likely) or by the original poster.

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

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

@jrp32 Proper nouns are not usable words

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

It is a simple noun - a person who is Jewish is a Jew. I don't think it is inherently derogatory although used that way by some.
Lots of words that are used derogatorily are in Lex (SOWPODS). I agree it feels weird to play them, but - it's a word game. -
@betterlate1-0 Just because you own lots of cats doesn't make you a cat lover.
You are simply a word Nazi. I used a capital "N" to avoid offence.
PS: It's ALL upper-case on the scrabble board.nazi is not worthy of a proper noun
-
@jsm using words or not using words are all a matter of choice but jew is always derogatory.
@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.

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

@mapmakere Merriam Webster is pouty

@Margaret-Jeddry according to official scrabble dic no longer proper noun
@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".

You may use this topic for recommending words to be added/removed from the Lexulous Word Lists.
@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).
