First of all I agree with Tiger-- the word list is made by some committee somewhere that has NO affiliation with Lex.
Secondly before complaining you guys might want to look in more dictionaries!

Noun: a supernatural force similar to mana believed by the Sioux to pervade animate and inanimate objects in varying degrees sometimes giving them extraordinary powers and usually assumed to be the cause of extraordinary happenings
@jrp32 Interesting! Wikipedia says "it is dialect to the eye, rather than to the ear."
Anybody else want them to get new avatars?
I made a poll:

Is it bad form to reply to myself? LOL
I was thinking about this, and it turns out that the reason my relative couldn't see my game posted was because of my formula. I didn't realize it works that way now.

@roymccoy I am annoying and you just proved why. You do not like the truth or facts. You find it fine that are rude and crude and apparently bully others to get your way. I point it out you censor me. Have a good day
Better, I don't really know Roy, but he doesn't seem like a bully to me.
And you'll probably take this the wrong way, but you would be doing yourself a favor if you thought about and edited your sentences before posting. Like "You find it fine that are rude and crude" -- what was that supposed to mean?
As for the plus sign in the middle of the board, do you people sit and stare at it? Star or plus sign? No big deal to me!
This is a minor thing, but I don't understand why a logged-in session times out so quickly? Just now I was playing on the main website, and clicked to open 'my stats' in a new window, and had to log-in again, even though I was still active in the main lex window!
Two unrelated requests that probably have already been asked for:
Please, can we have a formula in settings for minimum/maximum times we want to play? (Recently I forgot to look at an incoming match, and it turned out it was for a fast game, which I didn't want to play.)
It seems like censoring only has an effect on lobby/chatting. I'm sure a lot of us want it to also block people from joining our games!
Thank you.
What about the people who like glacially slow conversations? One sentence every 11 months?
@dan-mitchell
Perhaps they have fixed censoring.
I agree with you that a very different visual look for the dialog boxes for 'match' vs. 'join' would be very nice.
Don't you wonder if some people match randomly with fast games in hopes of an easy win?
Recently I was playing and had the following possible bingo:
I point your attention to the Score thermometer, which implies that is one of the best plays.
Luckily, I noticed a better spot:
Isn't it a bit weird that both a 79 point and a 122 point play get 'best' rating?
I wonder if sometimes lex gets too busy and stops looking for possible plays?
@dan I was just thinking, how about a keyboard-shortcut to resign the game? It could also start recording audio at the same time to be auto-posted here! hahahahahaha
I think it would be nice if they added keyboard shortcuts for most if not all of the mouse actions. Like for instance, spacebar used to shuffle your rack.
As for passing, I think a better option might be to have a dedicated pass button always visible, because people don't want to accidentally pass if they hit the wrong key!

Better, are you saying the site has been hacked?
Also, I don't understand why you post publicly and then jump on Map when s/he doesn't understand you. Your first post certainly was cryptic!
Better, I don't know you, but if that was happening to me, I'd get a new username, abandon my old one and try to change my behavior a bit so people would leave me alone / not recognize my new ID.
Also, the censor button is your friend.
I see that in Collins it's marked "NOUN ACRONYM FOR..."
and in MW it's labeled "abbreviation." Prolly why it's not in the word list. Nice word, though!

@mistertoad said in Recommend addition/removal of words:
... It has the tilde in mañana but NOT the one in señor ie it accepts senor but not mañana! Go figure.
I figure MW screwed up (on SENOR, not MAÑANA).
I'm no linguist, but I would bet English has borrowed many words from other languages and left the accent marks behind.
Déjà vu?

@rowdy3112
DIJON mustard is named for the city and is still a proper noun.
Burgundy has lost it's properness! 
I bet the French would be mad that champagne is valid and I bet the Italians would be mad that Asti is not since it means it is less popular. Am I muddying this up with wines? Haha
