Has everyone finished?

6:14 am

Sally-catlover

No, finding it tricky. Too many vowels!

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sally

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Agreed. I was off looking at hiking trail maps.

6:24 am

Sally-catlover

Maps are always fascinating.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I love studying maps. We are deciding where to hike today as the weather forecast has changed our plans.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I am now finding several -ing words

6:34 am

Sally-catlover

I think all my 7s are -ing words.

6:35 am

Sally-catlover

Not quite all.

6:36 am

Sally-catlover

Do you have the 9?

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Oh, there are 8's and a 9

6:37 am

Sally-catlover

I Have two of the 8s.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

I just found ta8

6:38 am

bubba218

Done, slow start, then it got quicker

6:38 am

Sally-catlover

And there's a jo8

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Good to hear, bubba.

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Help with the jo8, please?

6:40 am

Your knee is one + gerund

Scrabbler

TY, got 'em.

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Molly got there first!

6:45 am

Sally-catlover

Got the 9 at last! Had to monkey it though, it wasn't a flash of inspiration.

6:46 am

Scrabbler

Help please?

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

Let me think how to clue it. I would say it's a word I would normally use with two letters in front of it that mean not out.

6:49 am

Sally-catlover

It starts with one of the deadly ***s and ends with the gerund.

6:50 am

Haz1558

That worked for me, thank you.

Shirlockc

quite a few gerunds, unexpected ones too

11:41 am

LeslieAnn

i always feel so smart when i knock out a bunch of long gerunds lol

11:41 am

penquis

don't we all!

11:42 am

penquis

you inspired me to find another, shirl.... ;o)

11:42 am

mkg

just starting and cant even get 20 on my own! awful.

11:42 am

penquis

and another!....lol....

11:42 am

Shirlockc

check the gerunds, that got me a few

11:43 am

penquis

i have 14 so far....probably missing some....

11:44 am

penquis

and another, lol...

11:44 am

Shirlockc

i have one more than you pen

11:44 am

penquis

do you have 15 or 16?

11:45 am

penquis

i have 16 now....i am addicted to gerund endings, lol...

11:45 am

Shirlockc

2 more, i have 15 gerunds

11:46 am

Shirlockc

oops, 16 gerunds

11:46 am

penquis

perhaps we have hit the gerund wall.... ;o)

11:46 am

LeslieAnn

are you guys counting four-letter words that end in -ing?

11:46 am

penquis

no...

11:47 am

Shirlockc

i haven't listed yet so don't know if i'm missing any

11:47 am

Shirlockc

no, 4 letter words can't be gerunds

11:47 am

penquis

me either...

11:47 am

LeslieAnn

k just checking! *jumps into the gerund pool*

11:47 am

penquis

it was fun to look for them...

11:49 am

LeslieAnn

although i disagree that "aunting" isn't a word. it is a specialty of mine

11:49 am

penquis

found a 17th... :oD

11:49 am

Shirlockc

is it really aunting or are you t8?

11:50 am

mkg

isnt it time for aint to be in the dictionary??????i mean come on!

11:51 am

Shirlockc

clue for the 9 pls?

11:51 am

LeslieAnn

lol rude shirl!

11:51 am

penquis

don't have it....what are the stats?

11:52 am

mkg

if words from other languages are in dict, why isnt aint? it has been around for over a century and is used often and i think it is very expressive. so time to enter it into the dictionary.........

11:52 am

LeslieAnn

contraction

11:52 am

mkg

we all know what "i aint got it" means, and "it aint a word" means. so come on now..........it is a great word

11:52 am

penquis

shant isn't accepted either....another contraction....

11:53 am

mkg

other contractions are in here. perhaps they are also words. oh well.

11:53 am

Shirlockc

i don't think any contractions are accepted, can't think of one

11:54 am

mkg

you are most likely right shirlock.......

11:54 am

LeslieAnn

i think cant is, but that has a definition separate from the contraction

11:55 am

mkg

but if you think of it, most contractions are for 2 words. aint is not for 2 words........if it is for is not then what the ai instead of is?

11:55 am

Shirlockc

cant is a word in itself

11:55 am

Minveryork

The word aint is not a real English word. Hello everyone!

11:56 am

Shirlockc

actually, s'true, what is the contraction for aint?

11:56 am

LeslieAnn

heya min

11:56 am

dan2bit

so is wont

11:56 am

Shirlockc

minver! it's been a while

11:56 am

Shirlockc

wont is a word in itself too, like cant

11:56 am

penquis

wont is also a word in itself...

11:56 am

LeslieAnn

dictionary.com def of aint: Nonstandard except in some dialects. am not; are not; is not.

11:57 am

LeslieAnn

so it's a contraction of two words still

11:57 am

Minveryork

I entered the chog on Friday, but the chog was desolate.

11:58 am

rururocks

it's usually quiet by the time you roll in minver.. happy Monday holiday to you

11:58 am

Shirlockc

how about that, i found another gerund, i think there are 17

11:58 am

Minveryork

Wow! That word is in the dictionary now? Still not a real word to me.I cringe when I hear people use that word. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

11:59 am

rururocks

which is that min?

11:59 am

Minveryork

aint

11:59 am

penquis

shirl....i have 17 as well....

12:00 pm

rururocks

I grew up with that word.. my grandmother used to say it all the time

12:01 pm

Shirlockc

clue for the 9?

12:01 pm

Minveryork

I grew up with that word also, but I was taught it is not a real word.I do not believe it was in the dictionary when I was child. Will still correct my students if they use word

12:01 pm

rururocks

rururocks

east coast Canadians?

12:46 pm

doseffing

... yeah .... who's east of montreal13

12:46 pm

welki

12:46 pm

welki

ok - eastern canadians

12:46 pm

rururocks

west coast Canadians are cooler people :D

12:47 pm

doseffing

... don't ever tell someone from the maritimes or newfoundland that quebec and especially ontario are eastern canada ....

12:47 pm

doseffing

... they might settle for central canada but not eastern ... no way

12:49 pm

welki

rephrasing. all we're missing are the canadians who hail from provinces and territories east of alberta. how's that?

12:49 pm

doseffing

... will have to do

12:50 pm

welki

should i add 'and would-be sovereign nations?"

12:51 pm

welki

or, better yet, just faggetaboutit *lol*

12:51 pm

doseffing

... oh there are too many of those ... and some of them even have mountains

12:53 pm

cybernan

People in BC and AB have a tendancy to think of everything from Winnipeg to the Atlantic as being in the east

12:54 pm

doseffing

... people from the maritimes think of anything the other sside of Montreal as "the west"

12:54 pm

cybernan

conversely, our federal government seems to think that anything west of ON is the wilderness and therefore unimportant

12:56 pm

harpjane

I, on the other hand, think of Ontario as "back east"

12:58 pm

rururocks

I think of BC as Canada and the rest is just fluff :D

12:58 pm

cybernan

a gold star for ru ;D

12:59 pm

rururocks

HA!

12:59 pm

harpjane

I've been to four provinces, BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. So I've had a flavor of many parts of Canada.

12:59 pm

doseffing

... of course ... you might just be on the wrong side of the mountains and seeing everything in the mirror backwards

1:00 pm

rururocks

I've been to Winipeg.. and it aint much to write about
