Recommend addition/removal of words
-
@sparks most have no thought to be offensive. Some do it with only that thought. This is a word site and words have meanings. Maybe you choose to ignore the meanings but others don't and that is what you need to realize. Not a new hobby of Americans it is old to anyone around the world that is interested in words

@sparks Two i's allow for binocular vision tho. Could we have 2 instead of one? Snail eyes move independently so I don't think they have binocular vision.

@carolyn-leverich-atkinson : "Favala" with an a is not considered valid anywhere; not even in Brazilian Portuguese.
However, "favela" with an e means shanty town in Brazil and has been adopted into English (at least the online Collins Dictionary lists it). -
@jrp32 Yeah that sounds good, it might compliment the "solitaire" version of scrabble they are working on in Iran now. Well people say they are but to be fair we don't have any proof, same as when we thought they were trying to make a "fair" version of monopoly in Iraq, we never found a thing.

@gretchen-hunter yo-yo proper noun
-

@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. -
@betterlate1-0
Thanks yes, I got the answer I wanted. Thus:
"CH is in the UK list but not the US"Then the thread went a bit loopy. All the felines with snail eyes came out of the favelas, smoking fags, and began to party!
-
@gretchen-hunter When referring to the toy (and probably when referring to a dolt), "yo-yo" is hyphenated. It is, therefore, unacceptable.
-
@zshouldbe8
"A yo-yo (also spelled yoyo)" (WIKI) - well, so they say! LOLAlso - yoyo can apparently mean "You're On Your Own" when texting!

Why is egoic not in your dictionary? It is an adjective stemming from ego
-
@karinja, i know i am beating a dead horse here, but:
- The dictionaries used are illogical as to what "words" are and are not included. (Who wants to make the case for "CH" or "ZE" being words?)
- Lexulous administration does not control what words are included/dis-included in them.
-
@jrp32 thank you. Who does affect the dictionary?
-
@karinja It doesn't seem to have made its way into any of the major dictionaries yet. Probably not widely used enough to be considered for inclusion. Cool word though. Would describe a few on Lex nicely. 'Egoist' is valid, thankfully.

I really don't know. (Sorry)
Maybe someone else does....... -
@jrp32 thanks for answering

I was playing the other night and it wouldn't take DOXED. I suppose this will be added at some point.
-
I was just playing against the computer and the computer used the word 'cunt'. I am embarrassed to even write this word as it is extremely offensive, and classed as obscene language. Could you please remove it from Lexulous permitted usage? Thanks Jenny

@clancy1 Hey Jenny
It seems like you may have taken it personally.
Naughty smart robots. -
@clancy1 Hi Jenny - I don't make removal decisions; I just play Lexulous. Like others, I have, at times, found the word 'cunt' convenient, if embarrassing, to play.
It is defined as a word in dictionaries across the internet, has existed as a word since the 14th century, and certainly sets no precedent for acceptable vulgarity with Lexulous.
Just because you wouldn't say a word doesn't mean you can't play a word.
