i wonder why they accept some spanish words but not all

12:21 am

Gillie

I suppose they accept the ones that seemed to be commonly in use in English when the word list was created.

12:23 am

Gillie

One of the many problems with listing English words is deciding which ones are used widely enough to count as "English", despite having started as foreign imports.

12:25 am

Cosmo Kramer

Most games follow a dictionary.. any word in that is accepted, not in there, not valid..
I believe Babble follow Enable ..

12:25 am

Gillie

Which is really just a word list, not a dictionary, since definitions aren't included.

12:25 am

Funkylady

There is an extra word in Lickety,s list.

12:25 am

joym999

you'd think the word bento was common enough in English to be included

joy - Now, maybe, but possibly not when the Enable dictionary was created (or last updated - I'm not sure which version is in use here).

12:27 am

Cosmo Kramer

Which is really just a word list, not a dictionary, since definitions aren't included.
-- Yes.. My bad.. i should have said 'list'..

12:27 am

Gillie

Then I went and called it a dictionary :)

Cosmo Kramer

12:48 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:53 am

joym999

there are many words in the list/dictionary that are not real words, or proper nouns...it drives me nuts

5:21 am

Marian Todd

How come you can have German but not Cantonese ??

5:29 am

PMS

bd

5:30 am

MollyL

Because the Enable word list only accepts certain words of each language. Some German, but not all German. The only words that count are words recognized by the Enable word list.

8:36 am

rururocks

8:36 am

Judi

I've heard "depants" or just "pants" (as in you pants someone).

8:37 am

hokie carla

lol, I was thinking dog panting and couldn't figure how that would be undone

8:38 am

Judi

Or, as the little guy on Fantasy Island used to say: "Depants! Depants!" Oh, wait...

8:39 am

hokie carla

you can't unpie anyone either

8:40 am

9:00 am

9:08 am

BzznBea

Thanks for all those birds.

9:10 am

BzznBea

One of my favorite you tube channels is Leslie, the Bird Nerd.

9:13 am

rururocks

i love bird watching i have a red tail hawk that lives in a tree in my yard

9:15 am

BzznBea

I had a red shoulder hawk in my neighborhood, but all the bluejays in my yard encouraged him to move on.

9:17 am

hokie carla

I like how you say encouraged, instead of calling them the jerks they are, harassing other birds. :D

9:18 am

rururocks

my least favorite bird scrub jays

9:18 am

BzznBea

I don't look at them as jerks. They have a role to play in their habitat and that is what they do.

9:18 am

hokie carla

we had a cool owl until the bluejays ran it off

9:20 am

BzznBea

They encouraged the hawk to leave because jays can perfectly imitate its call. It thin ks there is an other hawk in the area so it moves on to another area.

9:21 am

BzznBea

My little wrens, chickadees and sparrows are meaner at the feeders than the big birds.

9:21 am

hokie carla

we still have hawks. I assume that's what disemboweled something in our yard. Winston found the intestines the other day. so gross.

9:28 am

mael

I always forget that enable doesn't think ramen is a word

9:28 am

hokie carla

11:05 am

MLFAN17

why hokie?

11:05 am

hokie carla

why don't I like the ratio? because 4's are the easiest, so if I find them all and still have that many words left, it's too hard.

11:06 am

MLFAN17

ohhh

11:10 am

MLFAN17

hokie i tried a 4 letter word twice before and i just tried the same word again and it finally entered

11:11 am

12:23 pm

Dorens

Of course I can believe it. Enable is so archaic

12:23 pm

phaeton

3

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I assume it's because pacman is a proper noun

12:23 pm

moolingwa

well pacman is a brand...and it's not as far as I know, accepted in newer dictionaries

12:23 pm

Dorens

MollyL

Want to feel old? Carole King's Tapestry album was released 50 years ago today.

12:54 pm

cybernan

already feel old without that!

12:54 pm

hokie carla

so many ghosts in here

12:55 pm

hokie carla

that album is before my time, I've heard of it but not that familiar with it

12:55 pm

cybernan

speaking of ghosts, have you noticed how many stars of our childhood and adolescence have died within the last couple of weeks?

12:56 pm

hokie carla

well, screech was kind of a shocker

12:56 pm

cybernan

no idea - was screech a rock star?

12:57 pm

hokie carla

screech was on Saved by the Bell tv show

12:57 pm

cybernan

never saw it

12:57 pm

hokie carla

he went into the hospital with pain all over and then a week later died of cancer

12:58 pm

hokie carla

maybe your kids saw it

12:58 pm

cybernan

was thinking more of Christopher Plummer and the like

12:58 pm

cybernan

I don't think we got that show here, carla

12:59 pm

hokie carla

well, I was kinda joking about "our childhood and adolescence" in your post because you are a different generation. screech really was from my childhood.

12:59 pm

MollyL

Who else died?

1:02 pm

cybernan

Sean Connery - can't think who else at the moment, but there have been a couple more

1:03 pm

MollyL

Christopher Plummer got 92 years, not bad. Did you know he was drunk during most of the filming of The Sound of Music? He hated it.

1:04 pm

MollyL

Sean Connery died in October. Carla was talking about the last couple of weeks.

1:05 pm

cybernan

larry King, Hank Aaron, Cicely Tyson

1:06 pm

cybernan

Chloris Leachman

1:08 pm

cybernan

Was it that long ago that Connery died? Time sure flies! I was thinking more of the last month - it seemed to be one after another. Everyone that was a star during my childhood and teen years is in their late 80's or 90's!

1:09 pm

moolingwa

Larry Flynt ;)

1:10 pm

moolingwa

Mary Wilson from the Supremes

1:11 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, Larry Flynt was a real treasure...not

1:16 pm

cybernan

I didn't know that Plummer's great-grandfather was the first Canadian born Prime MInister, John Abbott

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

hello again

1:18 pm

moolingwa

hey ML, happy friday

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

same to you mool

1:19 pm

moolingwa

thanks

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

my husband:hey!

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

my husband:mouse?

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

employee: mouse.. what mouse?

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

my husband:for the computer

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

employee: OH over there

1:23 pm

MollyL

I think MLFAN has lost it

1:23 pm

hokie carla

nan said recent weeks, not me!

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

what do you mean hokie?

1:24 pm

MollyL

Oops, you are right, it was Nan

1:36 pm

hokie carla

still have that one 1 R missing

1:51 pm

cybernan

how many letters, carla?

1:53 pm

cybernan

do you have the short piece of fabric at the end of the bolt?

1:58 pm

MLFAN17

what are the stats for that one cyber?

1:58 pm

cybernan

re 7

1:59 pm

MLFAN17

i think the word i think it is has an i in it?

2:02 pm

cybernan

the one I clued does not have an i

2:03 pm

MLFAN17

and i googled what you said and an re word didnt come up

2:04 pm

MollyL

Oh Carla sews, I bet she has that re7

2:05 pm

cybernan

try "leftover" or "remains"

2:05 pm

cybernan

when you want a small length of fabric at a bargain price, you check the re 7 bin in the fabric store

2:07 pm

cybernan

probably, but it is mlf that is having trouble with it

2:10 pm

MLFAN17

got it

2:10 pm

MLFAN17

and yes i do know that word

2:14 pm

hokie carla

thanks, nan, that was it

2:14 pm

hokie carla

should know that from my fabric shopping

2:23 pm

cybernan

yes, I have a peek in that bin everytime I go to Fabricland just in case there is a re 7 that would be good for making masks

2:24 pm

hokie carla

I've got so many fat quarters I would never run out of mask fabric. I look for the bigger re7s, and usually knit.

2:26 pm

cybernan

I'm not a quilter so have none of those ---- don't do much sewing at all any more. No little kids and don't need anything new for the house. Fabric is so expensive up here that it doesn't save any money to sew anymore.

2:35 pm

cybernan

back after lunch :)

2:44 pm

MollyL

So it was Carla who was looking for the re7

2:45 pm

hokie carla

I was looking for one R and nan guessed correctly

2:47 pm

hokie carla

now maybe someone can guess my O

2:48 pm

penquis

on 6/24...is that your missing O?

2:48 pm

Uneaixoise

Be7/40 please?

2:48 pm

penquis

sorry, don't have that Be yet...

2:49 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx

2:53 pm

MollyL

be + what people call you

2:53 pm

penquis

that's a dumb word....ty...

2:54 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx!!

2:59 pm

MollyL

At some point, someone got slap-happy about sticking BE in front of words. Bespeckled, betrothed, beloved (that word makes me gag)

3:29 pm

cybernan

it seems to me that many of the words today are really just two words run together - not legitimate compund words

3:30 pm

justafreep

don't besilly, nan.

3:30 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

3:31 pm

cybernan

I will pennotice of that

3:31 pm

periwinkle

that be6/30 word is stupid

3:34 pm

zoozzoom

I have seen that word used quite a bit in books I have read, Peri.

3:35 pm

origami

Really? I use that word all the time. "I be 6/30 very angry," for example.

3:36 pm

periwinkle

I meant the be6/27 and the plural

3:36 pm

cybernan

first time I ever saw that one

3:36 pm

origami

OK, that makes more sense :D

3:37 pm

zoozzoom

Ah yes they are not something I have seen to be fair.

3:40 pm

hokie carla

ok, pen is right on my missing o, now to find it

3:41 pm

cybernan

how about that last pe 6 --- are we now applying generic references to animals?

3:43 pm

zoozzoom

I can give a nudge if you like, Hokie.

3:43 pm

hokie carla

sure, zooz, not coming to me

3:44 pm

zoozzoom

ends with the word for 13-19 people.

3:45 pm

hokie carla

hmm, not teens

3:45 pm

zoozzoom

The ending of the word for 13-19 youngsters that should be.

3:45 pm

zoozzoom

Yes the ending of the longer version of that word, Hokie.

3:46 pm

cybernan

don't know about the uk, zoom but 18 is a legal adult here

3:46 pm

hokie carla

ah

3:47 pm

hokie carla

thanks

3:47 pm

hokie carla

now only 50 to go

3:47 pm

zoozzoom

Same here, nan but still a teen though.

3:47 pm

hokie carla

one 2nd col N left and the rest of my open tiles aren't even close

3:48 pm

hokie carla

yes, teenager is someone whose age is in the teens, regardless of legal status

3:49 pm

zoozzoom

No 6 maybe?

3:50 pm

hokie carla

I do not have an NO6

3:50 pm

hokie carla

you all are nailing these guesses today

3:51 pm

zoozzoom

a funny clue would be to say I got no coin change.(American coin) that is.

3:51 pm

cybernan

ok -- guess I always thought of that word as referring to early teens

3:53 pm

hokie carla

kept trying nopeni and the like but finally got it! thx

3:53 pm

hokie carla

49 left and only one 4 letter. ugh

3:54 pm

Welcome. Okay I am going to go to bed early. It is rather chilly here and I need to warm my feet up with a hot water bottle. Good luck with the rest of the grid babblers!

3:55 pm

IDK about the rest of you but I seriously can't believe there are 12 words starting with that top B there.

9:37 pm

Nef

Any clues for the pi 9? I can't find it & and have to get back to my "job" of mailing out my newsletter (as in stuffing envelopes & addressing the envelopes).

9:40 pm

origami

Sorry, nef, I don't have it yet.

9:43 pm

Nef

okay, I have my not, well over half way, but can't get abs yet. I'll keep the grid up while I stuff envelopes& see if I can figure it out.

9:46 pm

Thank You Cosmo!!! It just hit me when I stopped looking for it too!

9:49 pm

grannyrose

i was going to say fruit of the fir tree, but too late. yay nef. yay cosma

9:50 pm

Nef

hi, granny, how are you?

9:54 pm

grannyrose

coping. just. our state, Victoria, has just gone into full lockdown for 5 days, we hope. otherwise not so badly. did i tell you i was coming down off the opioids?

9:56 pm

Nef

I saw you had posted that to someone else the other day, but I had just signed on & that was a slow hog day and you'd posted several hours earlier.

9:56 pm

Nef

How is it going?

10:03 pm

grannyrose

lots of nausea, no cravings thank heavens. just dealing with my body's reaction. taking maxolon to keep food down. implant doing it's job well.

10:06 pm

grannyrose

down to one endone morning, and mid-afternoon. and one 10mg oxycodone control release at night.

10:07 pm

Nef

That sounds miserable. I've wished in the past I could have had opioids when I have had joints replaced; but I'm such a lightweight I stop breathing before I get any pain control.

10:07 pm

Nef

But I really feel for you going through the withdrawal symptoms.

10:09 pm

grannyrose

yeah, opioids are tricky like that. i react badly to run of the mill stuff, and oxcodone is about the only oral option i have. oh, and paracetamol osteo, high dose, controlled release. no can have anti-inflams anymore either.

10:10 pm

grannyrose

according to my dr's regime i should be off them in another days. just prn if i have break-through pain.

10:10 pm

Nef

yeah, the Tylenol (paracetamol extra strength is all I can have, I'm deathly allergic to NSAIDS.

10:10 pm

grannyrose

"another 7 days"

10:10 pm

Nef

Why no NSAIDS there?

10:11 pm

grannyrose

ccf with preserved systolic function.

10:12 pm

Nef

Wow.

10:12 pm

grannyrose

i know, i know, trust a nurse to come up with something obscure. my prognosis was 12 months and that was 18 months ago. i have a very good cardiac doc.

10:13 pm

Nef

LOL! Yeah, trust a nurse.... I can't get the vaccine because of too many anaphylactic reactions...

10:13 pm

Nef

and I'm glad you have good docs!

10:14 pm

grannyrose

oh no Nef. how frustrating. can't they give you a baby dose and watch what happens?

10:15 pm

grannyrose

*stands with epipen poised*

10:17 pm

Nef

Granny, you know as well as I do that even baby doses can kill. they don't have a skin test for it yet; but we now live in a senior care building and we've been kept pretty much in lock down since moving in in Sept. They come around & test us frequently & we get quarantined for 14 days if we're out with family for even a couple hours.

10:18 pm

Nef

I carry 2 episode-pens at all times.

10:18 pm

grannyrose

nef, honey. i have to go. i've been awake since 0345 and it's nearly 1515here. brain screaming for me to stop loading stuff into it...loll

10:18 pm

Nef

OOPS Epi-pens
