Oh, sorry--not the award! I'm a fellow disliker of the s-word, is all. :-)

Attention fellow wordies: Papageno listed the s-word because it actually belonged on a list. A big words list? You don't need no stinkin' big words list. You're wordie enough to stick that sucker in context. So kick back and enjoy nice, cool congratulatory blurb on your profile, Mr. Schadenfreude-lister. You've earned it.

I think, unless you're referring to something else, that subjunctive is a verb mood rather than a case, yes?
I have subjunctive listed in my list of verb moods.

Yeah, reesetee, they're supposed to be contiguous, but they are imaginary places, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, SeaTac seemed kind of iffy to me since it's not really 'on the border' of anything.
I'm beginning to have trouble telling the real places from the fake ones...
And yes, c_b, it definitely counts.

Thanks! It should be an interesting paper, as the book has fascinated me...so close to the end!
Aha, so you did, skipvia! I only knew about priapus from museums that had little statuettes with anatomical exaggerations. I'm learning a lot from this book. It's really quite entertaining.

It's a compelling but achingly-long read. I'm to write an essay on it due tomorrow...something about postmodernism and labyrinths...eh, you know how it goes.

I agree that it's overused -- too much of its time. Too zeitgeisty in itself.
November 17, 2007
papageno commented on the list lend-me-your-name
I'm taking cues from the website I posted below and wikipedia's list of eponymous adjectives.
The article posted mentions a certain "Literary League's Language Label Committee," which apparently makes authoritative decisions on the forms used for the adjectives, but I can't seem to find any more info about it.
I do like the alternative adjectivizations of names though.

papageno commented on the list beauty-is-truth-truth-beauty
Maybe we have different conceptions of beauty -- which isn't that odd of an idea, since we are different people.
I see the two words you mentioned as spiny and callused, hard. It's the Cs, I think. They are fun to say, but I wouldn't call them beautiful myself.

It is a really good website. I had it bookmarked for the longest time and didn't return to it until I revived my Wordie interest a couple days ago.
I actually like all the liquid, lilting l sounds. Sycamore is nice too though.

Yeah, the leveling is strange...but I'm still pretty impressed at the difficulty of some of the words. Usually vocab tests and the like use fairly common words.
(And I have no thoughts on the oviparous/viviparous disparity in level. :)

papageno commented on the user inkhorn
You know, I really think it's similar to the headline of a newspaper seen briefly in Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon" video.
Time passes.
I re-watched the video, and the headline looks like "Terrified Housewife Eats Her Own Foot." I must've been thinking of that when I made my myspace quote/tag.
