These lists, for whatever reason, have the highest Google ranks. (Only Google knows why.) I’m including cached copies from The Wayback Machine and Google when they contain comments (which are no longer available on Wordnik).

You’re welcome; also, I hope it wasn’t too spammy of me to post so many comments all at once. (There are four left, so if so, say so now.) I was motivated primarily by nostalgia for list and profile comments.

Why, it's an honor just to be nominated. I'd like to thank all those air currents out there, whether katabatic or adiabatic. I couldn't have done it without you.

Strange ... is this a list? It seems kind of list-y.

Let us call it a new-interface-style pseudolist. (Someone here will think of a better word before you can type “Let’s not”.)

Finally (ultimately, if you prefer) and indirectly, (as it’s actually a link on a Google Buzz post which shouldn’t technically match the search criteria, but who am I to dictate search syntax to Google?) the thirteenth and final Wordnik list about which Google claims to know anything:

The query “site:wordnik.com inurl:wordnik.com/lists” gives significantly more (583) results. (Google claims “about 1,060,000”, but says most of them are “very similar to the 583 already displayed”.) Perhaps I’ll begin on those next weekend.
(P.S.: The part of the Wayback Machine that serves pages is down for maintenance this weekend, so we’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the archived list pages have comments.)
