ruzuzu commented on the list frequentative

This is a great list! I came here from the page for "recant," where I'd noticed that you might be missing a bracket or something at the end of your description here.

I'm still waiting for ruzuzu to recant.

@ruzuzu: Thank you. I should probably survey fbharjo’s inscrutabations* before some hapless ESL student stumbles across this page.

I infer the list description was displayed improperly on word pages. If you were referring to the square brackets, the only way for me to eliminate those is to remove the corresponding links on this page. I’m sure the wordnarchs (Wordnikarchs? Logocrats?) will have that bug fixed very soon.^†

If you were referring to some other problem (that hasn’t subsequently disappeared), please describe it. (My list no longer appears on the page for recant,^‡ but it looks like it should stick to poor, neglected dartle for a while.)

________________

* I wanted to use “inscrutab” or “inscrutabbing” in that sentence by application of fbjarjo’s implied joke^§ about the suffix -le to the word inscrutable, but couldn’t resist the poetry of “inscrutabation”.^‖ I only mention this because at the time of writing, this paragraph contains the only instance of the “word” inscrutabbing on the Web or in print, as far as Google knows.

† That was a joke.

‡ Word pages now only display up to fifty lists (the most recent, perhaps). Pages for words on more than fifty lists display “Show all lists containing” links, which I’ve no doubt will eventually work. (See the previous footnote.)

§ I assume it was a joke.

‖ “The Poetry of Inscrutabation” would be a good title for something. I hereby release it into the public domain. You’re welcome.

Now, of course, I can't remember what made me say that. I hereby recant my statement.
