9:01 am

hurshy

9:02 am

swmbo

Yep. How is life in Ireland?

9:02 am

hurshy

oh i'm not really in ireland, that's just a wish, i'm in the US

9:03 am

hurshy

where life is particularly ridden with moral distress

9:03 am

swmbo

Ah

9:03 am

swmbo

Some of your distress is boiling

9:04 am

swmbo

Over to us

9:04 am

hurshy

sorry about that :(

9:04 am

swmbo

*shrug* not your fault.

9:05 am

hurshy

it always gets me that "mewer" doesn't count, as a person who loves cats

9:06 am

swmbo

Lol

9:06 am

hurshy

one of my best inspirations is the rhyming of "mewer" with "sure"

9:07 am

swmbo

It works for me

9:07 am

hokie carla

I tried mewer too. but it does not rhyme with sure when I say them.

9:08 am

hurshy

not when you say "sure" in the USUAL way. you have to MAKE it rhyme with mewer by pronouncing it in the LESS usual way

9:08 am

hokie carla

2 syllables vs 1

9:08 am

hurshy

yes

9:14 am

maybe the pe5 that looks like a plural? or the pa5 with all the vowels?

9:30 am

hurshy

i think i have both of the ones you mean

9:31 am

hurshy

which means maybe i missed something easy, i guess

9:33 am

hokie carla

pa5 that has no def but looks like part of a word that ends in -ly that's a design on fabric

9:33 am

hurshy

yeah i have that one too

9:34 am

hokie carla

pe5 after the veggie?

9:34 am

hurshy

9:34 am

hurshy

all 10 of the upper right S are SP

9:48 am

hurshy

9:48 am

hokie carla

hard to think about making a pt of a scots word you don't know what it means 🤣

9:51 am

hurshy

10:05 am

hokie carla

10:07 am

hokie carla

10:07 am

hurshy

well that's what morewords is for

10:07 am

hokie carla

em7 sounds like when you put something in water so that it is covered completely

10:08 am

10:16 am

hurshy

yeah

10:20 am

hokie carla

10:29 am

rbud

I always wonder why the past tense of ar4 isn't a word, as I've heard/read it so many times used like "I couldn't be ar**d to do it", as in couldn't be bothered. And Enable's so fond of British, right? I know I always try it, haha.

11:38 am

therealblah

it is accepted in many dictionaries, just not enable

11:47 am

BzznBea

Namaste

11:53 am

MollyL

The Enable nerds picked and chose what foreign words it would accept. Example: merde accepted. Merci not accepted.

1:14 pm

rururocks

well then they can't give thanks for shit

1:54 pm

Gillie

My understanding is that the Enable word list was created (largely through the efforts of Alan Beale) as an attempt to address problems with the original Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, which was supposed to be list of all words 2 to 8 letters long found in five major North American dictionaries (and has never actually been used for tournaments). The Enable word list removed the length limit and added words that had been omitted from the OSPD (which was assembled manually, and had some problems). Since then it has been updated once with words that have been added to the source dictionaries since it was originally created. Generally, whether a word is in the list or not depends on whether it is found in the source dictionaries.

2:06 pm

crosshair

Good afternoon. :)

2:07 pm

rururocks

is that from google Gillie?

2:13 pm

Gillie

It's based on a few sites, including http://www.bananagrammer.com/2013/12/t\nhe-amazing-enable-word-list-project.ht\nml, https://everything2.com/title/ENABLE+w\nord+list, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official\n_Scrabble_Players_Dictionary. I googled "how was the Enable word list created" originally.

2:15 pm

crosshair

Way to cite those sources! :) B+!

2:17 pm

MollyL

The problem with any word list that is over twenty years old is that language is constantly changing. As is the content of dictionaries.

4:21 pm

MollyL

None of those links will work unless you take the \n's out of them

5:14 pm

cybernan

hello,if anyone is still around

7:54 pm

rbud

Molly, what happened? She means you have to take out the

\n

or the links won't work

7:55 pm

rbud

oh, never mind, I see it now, it's off the right side, and here I though Moll hadn't completed a thought, it worried me! ;)

7:56 pm

rbud

<wonders if she has the energy to try to fix the chat...
