Is there any chance that our quotes would end up in a publication of any kind, like an academic journal of linguistics or anything?
This is possible, although not incredibly likely. It would be probably a computational or corpus linguistics journal, and would most likely show up as a Key Word In Context, or KWIC. So if the word was 'foamy,' for example, 'foamy' would show up in the middle of fewer than twenty words, like this:
and Legolas is incredibly foamy, and now PERSONAL NAME's going to kill me with her pinky finger
I can't imagine that there would be any more context than that. There would probably be at least five and maybe as many as thirty OTHER 'foamy' quotes around yours, as well.
edited to show anonymizing ...
Would Legolas need to opt in?
erinaceous, that's the ONE context you can keep my name in for.
eta: though now I'm trying to imagine true anonymity, which would require MARTIAL ART NAME all over the place, and it's making me laugh.
Would Legolas need to opt in?
Hee. No, fictional characters will be included without any effort on their part. I'll have to ask what they do about that, though!
and MARTIAL ARTS NAME had TRADEMARKED ELF NAME bent backwards over the TRADEMARKED LOUNGE CHAIR NAME when...
and Legolas is incredibly foamy, and now PERSONAL NAME's going to kill me with her pinky finger
The PERSONAL NAME change will unforunately eliminate the possibility of "Nilly" entering the language as a verb. Ditto with "meara" and "mejia" and "anya."

Unless the deleter only deletes it when it's being used as a name.

I dunno. Could just as easily be msbelle., although I would love to see Betsy's example annotated thusly:

You've noticed no qualitative difference in our posts on krav? Dude, you're supposed to be mutual favourites.
