Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
What about "contrifibularities"?
ReplyDeleteKnowing they intentionally left out words certainly takes the fun out of congratulating them on not having missed a single word.
Seriously though, the idea of editing a dictionary to reflect the senseless politics of the time is just asking for ridicule in the future.
Although in this case, that's fine with me, I hope it haunts these idiots for years
At approximately ten words per line, that's 170 words taken out, "to make room for" 80 put in. Typical socialist efficiency. And 80 is being generous. I don't think that "brainy" and some of its friends are actual words.
