    I am using V2 of Lex on a desktop computer. The Lex word definitions of the words used in each game appear below the game display itself. Often the definition will begin with the words "Eye Dialect". After looking at that a couple of years, i decided to look it up:

    @jrp32 Interesting! Wikipedia says "it is dialect to the eye, rather than to the ear."

    Interesting! I've never heard this phrase before, and it makes perfect sense.
