Contents

BIG Clean up

I have removed several items that now have complete and informative articles to explain them. This should not pose a problem for a total H*R noobie who comes to this Wiki looking for info, as they should find the article before the glossary anyway. - Dr Haggis - Talk 01:21, 7 Jan 2005 (MST)

Anchors

The anchors are not working. I'm not sure I know the proper formatting for anchors in MediaWiki. Anybody? — wikisig.gif Joey (talk·edits) 12:50, 16 Sep 2004 (MST)

I'm moving this off the main page to here, made the glossary look cluttered. Plus I think this kind of discussion goes on the Talk page.

  • I thought it was 20XP6! -- DragonDoom5

However, I'm pretty sure it's 20X6 with no P. --racerx_is_alive 12:58, 16 Sep 2004 (MST)

Emails?

Is the definition of the word "Email" even necessary? --oddtodd 00:26, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

Seconded. --GregHosting 03:07, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Yeah. we all know what an email is. Sbmaniac
What about the people who don't, though? You must remember, we are writing for a large audience, not just the tech-knowledgable. (I know that line is worded strange.) Bluebry 00:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Intelligence

Is the definition of intelligence/intelligent necessary? Isn't this glossary for words that would not be found outside of h*r? mibluvr13 09:04, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

X

The letter X may be pronounced "Xty" but it isn't its name. If we're going by how it's pronounced should we change "404'd" to "Four oh Foured"? No. It's just X. The chaps are using it as a number. The if the number was 2026, we wouldn't write 2ty. It's 20. So if anything it's X0. Not Xty. And where is this other crap coming from " X-T, XT, Exty, X0". No one ever refers to it as this. And if they do it's wrong. This wiki explains Homestarrunner.com, not the way the fans talk about the website. I don't want to have an editing battle or anything. So I want to come with a conscientious with you guys. --Droffats

How about we say that "When used in the tens place, X is pronounced "Xty"". --homestar3.14 13:24, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

VOIP

Should VOIP get a real-world definition (Voice Over Internet Protocol)? A related question is whether it should be a Real-World Reference in Teen Girl Squad Issue 1. S Gleason 18:11, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Because that definition of the word has nothing to do with its use in Teen Girl Squad or Homestar Runner. This is an H*R glossary, not a general glossary. Homestar Coderhomestar-coder-sig.gif 04:55, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Will you advise on whether it should be a Real-World Reference? I hate to belabor the point, but I feel there should be an acknowledgement that the BC used a real-world term as a sound effect. S Gleason 05:00, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It's just a random onomatopœia that TBC threw in. We wouldn't mention that the FOM in "BAOW FOM FROOSH" can stand for "Foundation of Mathematics", for example, why mention this one? --phlip TC 06:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't think it was random, but I will let it go. I am very new here. Thank you for being polite, phlip. S Gleason 06:34, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

grodalated

I'm not sure it needs a definition here, as it's a legitimate word. (Legitimate meaning it was in fairly common use at the time, which it still is.) See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=grodalated. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 22:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Where in the H*R world or pretty much anywhere did you hear this? Sbmaniac 23:54, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
