So I just wanted to let you know that I tried halo-halo for the first time. I liked it. Are the beans always crunchy?

Now I'm confused. Why does "PossibleUnderscore" display as "Punderscore Underscore"?

Bwahahahaha! You're so funny big-ears!! :D
I'm not really a herby sort of person I have to admit (sorry yarb). Let's just say I'm not going to bother going out of my way for coriander but if it happens to cross my path (which is fairly unlikely) I'll give it a go. That way I can stay in no-man's land for a while.

Patented 3-Step Delectation:
1. Chop coriander finely.
2. Sprinkle with salt and leave overnight.
3. Put in the bin.
You will henceforth be completely safe from ingesting the most hideous herb of howling horrendousness known to humankind.

Me, too; Firefox 3.5.9 it seems (click “Help” and then “About Mozilla Firefox”) but I still can’t reproduce the problem. I have, however, noticed that the width of the table I have to use—unfortunately, for CSS is filtered out—is automatically set to 600 px, while its container only has a width of 450 px. Since, as I said, CSS is filtered out, I can’t do anything about it, but I was able to reduce the width of the table to the same 450 px by assigning it the class of the surrounding container. This actually shouldn’t fix the problem, but it’s all I can think of right now. So the white expanse is still there?

Firefox. If there are any more details, I don't know them. ;-)

Strangest thing. What browser are you using?
April 8, 2010

Well, I pride myself on not having a “least favorite word”, and most of the things I am and I’m seeking start with a vowel sound (except “perfectionist”). Besides, while last time I checked it was still possible to sneak in arbitrary values, it had to be repeated with every update of the profile—that wasn’t convenient enough for me.

Again, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up- and I am assuming it has: the comment boxes aren't expanding. And when I click my profile name, I just get the 'new interface' page.
Where is Wordie when you really need it???

PossibleUnderscore commented on the user feedback
I'm not sure if it's only me now but I really miss the old interface. The simplicity of it made Wordnik so homey and casual but now it seems rather cold and, for lack of a better term, 'try-hard'. I liked the names above the comment (it flowed much better) and there was no need for these dividers between comments and sections on a page. The old layout on the word pages was clear and simple. The sections being side by side as opposed to being underneath each other was neater, even if you did have to wait for it to load...I don't want to winge about everything, and I don't mean to be rude and grumpy but I honestly don't know if this new style is going to work for me.
Am I just being old-fashioned and pessimistic?
Do I have to just get over it?
July 1, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the user feedback
To deviate briefly:
Bilby, why are you still hiding from us?
June 20, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the user feedback
Hear here!
And the love button.
June 20, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the user feedback
It just seems a bit messy and overwhelming. I liked everything on seperate pages.
Also, the black on the top sort of feels like it's closing in on me... I can't figue out (as Pro says on new interface) how to find the formatting box.
:/
I like marky's idea though.
June 20, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the word new interface
I have to admit, it's probably going to take me a while to get used to this but it's definitely not bad! I love the new love button.

Edit: is the love button akin to 'Favourite'?

Congrats! Do you remember the winning word?
May 16, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the word whilst
I usually go "Then bilby got his ears caught in the frivolous blades of the... ." (No space, ellipsis, full stop. It's hard to do on Wordnik, but on Word it comes out much neater.) I haven't really thought about it before.
What about quotation marks and inverted commas? Many books these days use inverted commas for speech. eg. Bilby said, 'My ears are stuck!' as opposed to "My ears are stuck!". I personally prefer " as speech marks.
May 15, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the word whilst
In my corner of the world and in my corner of Australia, 'whilst' isn't commonly used but when it is, it doesn't sound unnatural or pretentious either.
I think it could possibly be a dying word...
I'm intrigued by what rolig said about 'putting a comma after a quotation mark'-- example please? Speech marks or inverted commas?

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word combinations
But I knew also that twenty letters alone could form two quintillions, four hundred and thirty-two quadrillions, nine hundred and two trillions, eight billions, a hundred and seventy-six millions, six hundred and forty thousand combinations.

PossibleUnderscore commented on the word googled
In my experience, which admittedly is limited, most genericised trademarks aren't capitalised except in a few select cases (which I can't think of right now). I'm quite comfortable with using googled but if someone told me I was wrong and it really mattered I suppose it wouldn't hurt to use a capital, even if it does look a bit funny.

May 6, 2011
PossibleUnderscore commented on the word Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚
In short, Zalgo is a faux-Lovecraftian internet-based mythos typically accompanied with mangled text and vague implications that Zalgo will soon be destroying the world/the poster's sanity/humanity. Zalgo is not necessarily an entity, but is more of a concept, much like Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space."
More here.
Sounds very superstitious. And strange.

I think we need a good party round about now to celebrate barbarous words. Who's with me? I guarantee plenty of phony umbrage, and fufluns. Maybe even some cupcakes with hyphens.

I have never before missed so much in 4 hours.
English isn't a language that follows rules as rigid as thsoe of Latin or classical Greek or even more modern languages like Italian and Spanish. The variety and spontaneity is what makes English such a special and unique language. I'm personally a big fan of it.
I think this video sums things up nicely.

I'm not really a herby sort of person I have to admit (sorry yarb). Let's just say I'm not going to bother going out of my way for coriander but if it happens to cross my path (which is fairly unlikely) I'll give it a go. That way I can stay in no-man's land for a while.

I remember in the early days of my schooling we learnt to use brang instead of brought in a certain tense, but I can't seem to recall what that tense was. Comparing both words on Wordnik (where else would I go?? ;-) ) I can only find that brang is 'dialect, colloquial, informal'...

'Community' sounds sort of cold to me. The Zeitgeist heading was more Wordie/Wordnik-like. I didn't even know an imperative existed for changing the name.
