Perhaps we could otter up lightbulbs to keep discussion together although a vote may or may not actually occur. Very interesting project and I am sure that many of us will have questions.
Love makes you do the wacky.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But Sophia, once they're in the dictionary, they're totally real! Like bootylicious!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We can make new words? Oh yeah.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I offer up 'constructability' as a new word.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I love the idea. Before we open up lightbulbs, I think we probably want to get a little more info, and then some one can craft a proposal that we can vote on.
So... it'd be words, not sentences/full posts?
This is the question that I have. It would be the words without the context?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am not sure that all the words I use are even remotely real!
You use 'em, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If we all decide on a word to make real, I bet we could use it enough to get it drawn.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Motate!
I think it's a very cool idea.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can't imagine being perturbed by this project, I'm just curious why they want web data-- what is written here seems different from both spoken English and formal writing.

My guess is that that's exactly the reason.
