Recommend addition/removal of 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.

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! LOL

Also - 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.

karinja

@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.......

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.

@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).

jrp32

@clancy1, i do not use words like "CUNT", if i am winning. If I am behind and that is the best point-getter, yes, I will use it.

roymccoy

@zshouldbe8
Thanks. Dictionary is now saying that DOXED is valid, so maybe it wasn't DOXED that wasn't accepted before but an unnoticed intersecting non-word. I vaguely recall there was a second time that DOXED didn't work either, but maybe I vaguely recall wrong.

roymccoy

I think dirty, vulgar words are fun.

@jrp32 Definitely not worth arguing with your logic.
