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.

I don't know, but it doesn't matter in regard to what Mistertoad and I are saying.

@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......
-
@jrp32 sorry, what is?
-
@l-j
eBay -
@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

Recommendation: Merriam Webster is pouty adjective
\ ˈpau̇-tē
poutier; poutiest
Definition of pouty
1: SULKY sense 1
2: expressive of displeasure -
@betterlate1-0 And here I thought M-W was a dictionary!
-
@mapmakere certainly is but I copied and pasted while I thought of it..after pouty was refused.
-
@jsm using words or not using words are all a matter of choice but jew is always derogatory.
-
nazi is not worthy of a proper noun
-
@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
-
@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".
