Recommend addition/removal of words

Why are you using words from a foreign country. Example, Favala is not an english word. That is not fair.
@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). -
@sparks said in Recommend addition/removal of words:
I would like to see the removal of some letters.
Personally I find "V" and "C" very hard to work with.
Also I struggle with more than one "I"......I think you have some excellent ideas here. Also, I would like to see the use of a dictionary composed of words that only i know.
@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.

@mistertoad
I am happy to report that 'CH' has now returned to my list. Strange!@mistertoad do not know if you got an answer..cant tell order received and i have to wait to long to figure it out..ch only in brit dic

@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
@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!

"Yoyo" is a word ... it is a toy (as well as a person who is a dolt). Add it.
@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!

@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.

@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.

@jrp32 thank you. Who does affect the dictionary?
I really don't know. (Sorry)
Maybe someone else does....... -

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. -
I was playing the other night and it wouldn't take DOXED. I suppose this will be added at some point.
@roymccoy: What dictionary are you using? DOX, DOXED, DOXES, and DOXING are all acceptable in the UK dictionary (as is DOXY, but that is a noun with a completely different meaning).
