What do you mean by "prehistoric" here, chaino? Can you quote me an epoch?

How about graptolites and monoplacophorans? They both skipped 300 million years or so.

Yarb: dunno. If you want to define it, you can. This is an example of a list by an amateur person with a vague interest in the subject, who wanted a place to collect words as they are encountered. It wasn't intended to be comprehensive, or even, to be quite honest, all that thorough. (Like probably thousands of other lists on Wordie...)

every potential wordie list is an existing wordie list. Repeat. every potential wordie list is an existing wordie list.

And by now, I'd wager a good number of potential Wordie lists are several existing Wordie lists. :-)

Should we be calling them Wordnik lists now? Or should we just say every potential list is an existing list?

Most of them started as Wordie lists.
