Questions

Do "rainbow" and "rainbows" count as different words, or just a variation of the same root? Which also brings me to my second question, why don't we link the words to the only toon they each appear in? EDIT: Ah, let others guess. My bad. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing the links somewhere, perhaps the talk page. It would be easier for other users to verify if they were used more than once or not. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:30, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Question one - I'd allow them both. (Except "rainbow" appears in at least flashback and website.) Question two - it's pretty easy to do a search for the terms. I check 'em all anyway. Links wouldn't help show that a word appeared more than once anyway, it'd just show the one place the contributor found it. You'd still have to Search to verify. And of course every new toon that comes out means some might have to be deleted.... - Qermaq - (^T/C)  22:39, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Well I have added links. Let me know if I made any errors. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  23:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Games

"Creative" was removed on the grounds that it was in the Homestar Quiz and lady fan. Doesn't it say that words from games don't count? — Has Matt? (talk) 01:01, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Should we consider the quiz a game? I guess it is, we'll add it back in! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  01:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

potato

Had to remove potato. It's said twice in Halloween Fairstival and also seen in print in the bet. So it just fails the Honorary Mention test as well. :( - Qermaq - (^T/C)  23:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

flock

"Flock" appears in halloweener and on the Yearbook Character Page (in The King of Town's bio). Should this count as two appearances, or should we discount the Yearbook Character Page? Thoughts, please. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I think it's up to you—it's your page! Trey56 21:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, that is true. Unless someone offers a compelling argument to the contrary, I'm gonna zap that one. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hundredaire Socialite

Mwa ha haa! I got the 100th entry on the list! ph33r m3!!!1 *cough cough* Ugh, it hurts to talk to much "leet". --Jay (Talk) 21:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

The Jay is a hundredaire! A parade for The Jay! - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! *sigh* I was so close. Well, back to the drawing board; only 98 to go. Dang old flocks; I never got my tote bag. Trey56 22:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Idea

Why don't we have seperate sectons for every letter? It would make things a lot easier for the people who found new words, so they don't have to go through over 100 words just ot find one letter. So, what's your opinion on it? Sbmaniac 23:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Not a bad idea, but how would it really make it easier? You'd get big letters rather than have to look at the first letter of a word. I might try it, just to see what it looks like.... - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Sig

Why did you put Dacheatbot instead of My sig at User:Dacheatbot/sig? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 00:54, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

IIRC, you intended to post some words, but they never got in there for some reason. I saw that in your edit summary, and added them on your behalf. But I didn't know your sig offhand, and didn't have the time at the moment to go look for it, so I simply made it a link to you in order to attribute it somehow. Feel free to alter that attribution to be your sig. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Words said or seen again

If a word what was once said or seen only once suddenly gets said or seen again, does it just disappear from the list? If so, seems a shame, if the word was there for a while. — It's dot com 04:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I would say so. Well I guess that's just how the cookiee crumbles. Or at least the words.--H*Bad 04:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Funny you say that. Are crumble from record book and crumbles from radio the same word? —BazookaJoe 04:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

See the first topic. I'm allowing multiple forms of the word, at least for now. Amd, yes, if the coolest word on the list is in the next toon, bloop! Buh-bye now. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  10:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Why not have a "dropped from the list" section? --Stux 19:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

We can note it in Talk, how's that? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  01:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

By that you mean a separate Section in Talk, or just an individual note for each removal? --Stux 21:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

what article is this section talking about? I R F 21:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Inflections

What's the policy with inflections? Oh brother. Why didn't I read first? Okay... I get it now... They are counted... Sorry... kai lyn 21:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Must be used as a real word

I disallowed "stampers" on the basis that it was used as an interjection which ignored its potential legitimate meaning of "those which stamp". Just posting this for future reference.

Ahh Well

So I guess, Chai doesn't count. Well I'll find one some day.גשמלדרברגן 20:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, as I said in the summary (and am repeating here for easier future reference) the word "chai" isn't the whole word - it's "l'chaim". So technically it doesn't appear as "chai". Thanks for playing, though. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
