Who says you can't hear tone in text?

In what was almost certainly a precedented move, Brian was wrong.

And so is my spell-checker.

Brian represents that group of people that just say, “No it’s not!”, with authority. I forgot what they call themselves.

Is he arguing with fhe dictionary?!!wtf

[–] [email protected] 14 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

My opinion is that once someone invents a word, it exists forever, even if it's later marked as obsolete/archaic.

Conversely, just because the dictionary doesn't have a word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Many words are forgotten, so I disagree with that they exist forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I agree but he is saying the opposite lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I know lol

Just reminded me of those that consider the dictionary a holy book, and new words against the Rules of Nature™

Yeah, I can say all manner of things like bork and twiddledee, but I don't think I can get marblegargler to stick.

Unless a meme picks it up or is in at least the urban dictionary, it doesn't count.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

Fiddlesticks. "marblegargler" is perfectly cromulent. ;)

I'm more of a Wictionary guy, myself.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

Is that a dictionary for witches? Or did you misspell wiktionary?
