My least favorite veggie is in the puzzle tonight.

mattygroves

So Babble is telling me spam does not exist in the puzzle...but it absolutely does....
4:14 am
MollyL

A while ago, someone reported that Dr. God had agreed to add spam as a word that counts. Who knows why, since spam the meat is a brand name and spam in reference to email is slang at best. After that, when you entered spam the message changed from not in the dictionary to not in the puzzle, even when it is.
4:15 am
mattygroves

Aaah, ok :)
4:46 am
mkg

What veggie is that? Dont have one
4:57 am
MollyL

That green leafy stuff that everyone is eating now like it's God's gift to the food chain.
4:57 am

I see ending to a veggie: cr 5 12. Is that it?

6:56 am
The Soup Nazi

Spam should 100% be accepted in this puzzle. It's irrelevant whether it's a slang term or not - slang is still words, after all. In general, Babble is years behind all academically accepted dictionaries, some of the words that are not allowed are ludicrous.
6:57 am
The Soup Nazi

But hey, still a fun couple of hours every day so no harm done.
7:02 am
BzznBea

Good morning, friends.
7:09 am

bichon

I am so glad I wore micro spikes on my boots today. Very icy.
7:41 am
Judi

Good morning, all. Yeah, spam. It's not just for breakfast anymore.
7:42 am
MollyL

You gotta love potted meat
7:44 am
Judi

Right-hand column blacked out. Woot woot!
7:44 am
BzznBea

I don't look at Spam as potted meat. It's canned meat.
7:44 am
Judi

I look at Spam as revolting.
7:45 am
BzznBea

Potted meat, or the stuff mom tried to get me to eat was all mushy and came in small cans.
7:45 am
Judi

*** gag ***
7:46 am
BzznBea

She would mix it with pickles and sandwich spread or mayo.
7:46 am
Judi

Please stop.
7:46 am
BzznBea

And don't get me started on Vienna Sausages.
7:47 am
Judi

LOL! Ahg! I can't take it. Bea is trying to make me barf!
7:47 am
BzznBea

LOL! I will stop now.
7:48 am
Judi

I'll eat canned tuna fish.
7:48 am
Judi

Beyond that, no potted meat.
7:49 am
BzznBea

Can't do tuna.
7:49 am
Judi

Maybe a sardine every once in a while.
7:50 am
hokie carla

I used to eat potted meat sandwiches as a kid.
7:50 am
MollyL

Compressed leftover meat scraps, congealed and canned. Whatever the name, it's all potted meat to me.
7:51 am
hokie carla

reading down...potted meat is def. different than spam
7:51 am
BzznBea

Of course you did, Carla.
7:51 am
hokie carla

and vienna sausages. would not eat sardines though.
7:52 am
hokie carla

and I was a very picky kid
7:52 am
Judi

I think people buy Spam now just to have the can above their computer. Pop culture deco.
7:53 am
BzznBea

Underwood deviled ham uses tongue and chicken.
7:54 am
BzznBea

I liked a thin slice of fried Spam with a lot of mustard once upon a time.
7:55 am
BzznBea

Carla, have you looked outside your county for vaccinations?
7:56 am
hokie carla

no, I haven't
7:56 am
Judi

Spam claims to be pork. Yeah, but pork what?
7:56 am
BzznBea

You might look around at the smaller cou nties nearby. I am going to Granville County tomorrow for my first.
7:57 am
hokie carla

I would probably eat fried spam today. mr. BF just had some a couple of years ago when he did a biking trip in CO. or he might've had the other brand. can't rem. the name. is it by Hormel?
7:57 am
JaxH66

I had my first jab yesterday.
7:57 am
BzznBea

My daughter who lives in Raleigh and is 40, is also ging to Granville to get it.
7:57 am
hokie carla

not sure there are any smaller counties around me!
7:58 am
BzznBea

Look around for places in rural areas.
7:58 am
BzznBea

How did it go, Jax?
8:01 am
MollyL

My mother in law said her mother fixed them Vienna sausage and mayo sandwiches. That makes me queasy.
8:02 am
BzznBea

You can tell tomorrow is trash pickup in our neighborhood. Two couches, a love seat, three chairs, two mattresses and three boxed springs, two lamps, and one shade...
8:02 am
JaxH66

it was fine. My arm was sore about 6 hours after the vaccine, but it doesn't feel quite as sore now. Other than that I feel fine.
8:02 am

8:06 am
hokie carla

8:06 am
MollyL

Oh you fortunate one
8:06 am
hokie carla

it's a can full of little wienies
8:06 am
BzznBea

Cover in slimy goo.
8:07 am

8:07 am

yes, all the canned meat products are very salty
8:08 am
BzznBea

Almost all canned products are salty.
8:08 am
hokie carla

good point
8:08 am
hokie carla

it's almost like the salt preserves them to last longer ;)
8:09 am

And frozen meals. The salt content in those is ridiculous.
8:09 am
hokie carla

yep
8:10 am
BzznBea

I don't remember the last time I had a frozen meal.
8:10 am
hokie carla

I did that Daily Harvest for a few months which is supposed to be super healthy because it's fruits and veggies, then I saw in one of the reviews someone complaining about the sodium in some products and when I looked, it was crazy.
8:11 am
hokie carla

I have one friend that would argue salt is okay because it's all natural. well, so is poison ivy but that doesn't mean I want it.
8:11 am
BzznBea

LOL!
8:12 am
BzznBea

I use pink salt but even then I use it sparingly.
8:12 am
hokie carla

we were at a restaurant once and she ordered fried pickles and then salted the entire basket when they came out and before tasting them.
8:12 am

salt is only really bad if you're prone to high blood pressure. I need to eat salt on purpose to keep my blood pressure up or I faint, my cardiologist threatened to put me on salt pills like a horse
8:13 am

I used to work with someone who salted Campbell's canned soup
8:13 am

and she wouldn't use the ketchup there because it had GMOs.

there was talk of limiting salt for toddlers for a while but our pedi scoffed and said exactly that, people need salt. It's only bad for you if you have blood pressure issues. If you have too much of it though food is going to start tasting bland even if it's weel seasoned :)

I have 11 left.
8:17 am
hokie carla

I think that's the problem with this lady, she just salts everything immediately whether it needs it or not. and she's an alcoholic, so she's always drunk when we're eating.
8:17 am
hokie carla

interesting, I have 111 left
8:18 am

yeah, at that point it's just bad cooking! My husband and daughter love salt so much they put it on their ketchup which, yuck
8:18 am
hokie carla

my SIL salts melons. OMG, watermelon is like the perfect food, why ruin it with salt.
8:19 am
BzznBea

When I could eat melon, I would put a bit of salt and pepper on one that wasn't really good.
8:21 am
hokie carla

does melon cause problems? my son said it made his mouth tingle so the dr said he was probably allergic. he also used to break out in a rash if the juice touched his skin.

8:22 am

umm, was like, madonna's not in here, but that's I'm Keeping My Baby or something. will have to think about it.

ugh, that stinks
8:39 am

there is one behind me through the woods that is incredibly annoying. I would probably lose my mind if it was in my building.

11:41 am

Someone requested that spam be added to the allowed words. Before that, you would have gotten "spam does not exist in the dictionary". Since the request, you now get the message you got. It is some kind of coding error. Spam is still not an acceptable word.

I keep getting "does not exist in the puzzle" for an sp4, the one in the Monty Python skit.
4:01 pm
Gillie

Yes, that's a bug. "Spam" is still not in the dictionary used for the grid, but apparently it is in the dictionary that's checked when you enter a word.
4:02 pm
moolingwa

Well the dictionary you check is a different dictionary
4:02 pm
moolingwa

not related at all to enable...kind of like the OED and Meriam Webster are different dictionaries
4:03 pm
Gillie

I know, but the code that checks the word you enter assumes the word isn't in the grid if it finds it in its dictionary, but it isn't in the list of "words in the grid".
4:05 pm
Gillie

And the list of words in the grid is being compiled from a slightly different dictionary.
4:06 pm
moolingwa

Not sure I understand...so Babble uses Enable, which is the word list that's used. It uses dictionary.com, which shows definition, which is much bigger than the word list
4:06 pm
moolingwa

So if you look up enable word list...there's a few sites which will allow you to search it You'll find spam is not in the enable word list
4:07 pm
Gillie

I mean, when this site checks the word you enter, it doesn't actually check whether it's in the grid. It checks its dictionary to see if it's a legitimate word, and says it isn't in the dictionary if not.
4:07 pm
moolingwa

Ah yes, that is true
4:08 pm
Gillie

In the case of "spam", it is in the dictionary used by this site to check words, but it isn't in the list of words in the grid that was generated previously.
4:08 pm
moolingwa

the word "internet" is another example. It's in dictionary.com, but not in the enable word list
4:09 pm
moolingwa

conure...selfie...irregardless :)
4:11 pm
Gillie

Yes, well it seems that "spam" is in the dictionary used to check what you enter, but it isn't in the dictionary that was used to generate the list of words in the grid.
4:11 pm
moolingwa

Not so much a bug, as that these are two different word lists...both free though
4:12 pm
dan2bit

enable as used here is also immutably fixed to the moment that Dr. God first incorporated it into the game. dictionary.com is more or less continuously updated
4:12 pm
moolingwa

well the code checks to see whether "spam" or any word is in the enable word list
4:12 pm
Gillie

It's a bug because this site incorrectly assumes that if the word is in the dictionary it's checking, but not in the list of valid words in the grid, then it must not be in the grid.
4:12 pm
moolingwa

Ah, I see where we have a difference...
4:13 pm
moolingwa

So the site does not use dictionary.com to check to see if it's a valid word. It uses a word list called ENABLE, which is not visible to users
4:13 pm
moolingwa

It then uses the free internet service dictionary.com to provide definitions (via the ? icon) but it's not related at all to the word list...simply a free internet site to look for words
4:14 pm
moolingwa

or rather definitions
4:14 pm
moolingwa

you'll also find a bunch of words that have no definition in dictionary.com, yet are included in the "approved words" for grids
4:14 pm
dan2bit

it would be more correct for the error message to say, e.g. "cresp" was not found in the word list
4:14 pm
Gillie

It used to be the case that when you entered "spam", it would tell you that it isn't in the dictionary. But now the site checks the words that are entered using a somewhat different dictionary than was used to generate the list of words in the grid.
4:14 pm
moolingwa

true
4:15 pm
moolingwa

Oh, meaning that it "doesn't exist in the puzzle"
4:15 pm
moolingwa

sorry, I completely missed that, I apologise
4:17 pm
moolingwa

versus "was not found in the dictionary"
4:18 pm
crosshair

It would also be correct to say that the dated version of Enable that is locked to Babble forevermore is a pain in the arse at times. :)
4:18 pm
moolingwa

yeah, but it's free :)
4:18 pm
moolingwa

I guess one could curate a new word list and publish it for free for word game makers to use
4:20 pm
crosshair

Indeed, but for Dr, God, Babble is now "legacyware," and I do not think it will ever be "refreshed."
4:20 pm
moolingwa

There's only about 172000 words, so I figure...what, maybe 5000 more words to add?
4:20 pm
moolingwa

true too
4:21 pm
moolingwa

so what you're saying cross...is we need to build out own new version of babble
4:21 pm
crosshair

I once broached the idea to Dr. God that in addition to the daily grid that we all know, that Babble could offer players a weekly 10x10 grid--perhaps of 2000 words or so in size.
4:22 pm
moolingwa

that would be fun
4:23 pm
crosshair

It would. it would also give players something to do if the main grid is small for that day.
4:23 pm
moolingwa

right
4:24 pm
moolingwa

Might have to make the grid bigger
4:24 pm
crosshair

That is when he told me that this is it--not expansions, or updates. What we see is what we have.
4:25 pm
crosshair

would just tab over to a 10x10 grid. it is quite feasible, but alas it is not to be.
4:27 pm
crosshair

I tell you, I would pay for another subscription if it were ever offered.
4:28 pm
moolingwa

yeah, would be cool
4:33 pm
crosshair
