seanahan's Words

These are my words. I may not have the most, as I am fairly picky as what to add to "my" words.

You're right to be protective/picky.

Seriously, what does it mean when you have 3000 words? Is there a word for it, polylogy?

Great list. And thanks for the correction WRT fruitarian. I'd just spelled it wrong. Horrors!

I thought the same thing when I took my first hit of Wordie. But now I'm hooked, and 3000 isn't enough.

Actually, in all seriousness, I try to be careful about adding words and prefer to "favorite" people's lists rather than add more than, say, 5% of their words to one of my lists. On the other hand, I'm not just adding words, I'm categorizing the entire English language. I've taken this project on myself for the good of the world and the salvation of other Wordies. You're welcome.

No need. No need, really. I'm doing this... for *your sins*.

Which, admittedly, are legion. But I never thought I was such a profligate in the word department. Heavens.

My thing is that I like for all of my words to have some significance to me, or to be necessary for some list. I understand that people seem to have this thing with quantity, or will grab up any word that has any meaning whatsoever, but I'm not like that.

When you consider there's millions of words in the English language, what's 3000 well-chosen ones? You have a love of the language also. A year from now people will have 30,000. Hope John has the bandwidth.

Funny, seanahan, that's my thing too. I don't give a damn about numbers, I like words. Glad there's a site for all of us who do!

I agree on all counts. For me, there really *are* many thousands of words that have significance to me or that somehow fill out a list. Many of them, for example, are words that I associate with people I've known--when you take that into account, how many thousands more are possible? :-)

It's also interesting to find out why people add words here. Some pick out the "jewels," some like to make comprehensive lists....To each his own--that's the beauty of Wordie!

I appreciate this list. A lot of the words that have meaning to you have meaning to me. Then again. I'm pretty promiscuous with teh words. Thanks for Reaganite and freedom fries

Great wordlist. I see that this list has been here a long time. It's great to be continually surprised. I love discovering buried gem lists.

Thanks nearsounds. In the early days, there was quite a competition to have the "most words". I never thought that was a good idea. These are my words because they mean something to me. Words are like friends. You can have a lot of them, but you only have a few good ones you are really close to.
