12:31 am

Gillie

12:31 am

ursh

el 5&6

12:31 am

Gillie

(or maybe there's another one)

12:31 am

cybernan

no - didn't know there was one

12:32 am

ursh

no un 7 or 8 here

12:33 am

rastapopolous

it's not a prefix.

12:34 am

rbud

well, thanks very much! I just started, read all that about the un8, and got it right off the bat. :D

12:34 am

ursh

that did it thanks rasta

12:35 am

rbud

yes, for me, too - it was that last little nudge.

12:36 am

Gillie

I assume you were saying that el5&6 are from the corner E, ursh? I have an el5&6 pair, but from the other E.

12:37 am

cybernan

didn't do anything for me

12:37 am

el5&6 also from the corner

cybernan

two trees

12:43 am

Gillie

Wordnik claims it's the same as "olein", and Wiktionary says it's Welsh for a fawn/young deer.

12:43 am

Gillie

It's definitely a weird one, anyway

12:45 am

cybernan

is that un 8 a word in common usage?

12:45 am

Gillie

Yes, although often with a slightly different spelling

12:47 am

cybernan

can't even think of anything - too tired for this. Good night everyone.

12:47 am

cybernan

just got it

12:47 am

cybernan

sounds like a manufactured word to me

12:47 am

Gillie

Although I guess the alternate spelling is rare - not accepted by Enable.

12:48 am

cybernan

and two opposite meanings! ridiculous

12:49 am

cybernan

right up there with utilize

12:50 am

Gillie

Yes, there's an article I've occasionally seen on offer that lists English words that are their own opposites.

1:47 pm

cybernan

humanity has sunk to a new low -- the academy tells smith his actions will have repercussions? What about chris rocks actions? are they now condoning making fun, in public, of a person's appearance which is caused by an illness?

1:47 pm

cybernan

and not only in pubic but on tv in front of millions of viewers?

1:47 pm

penquis

it's like making fun of the disabled....

1:49 pm

LuvWordGames

yes, I agree. Chris Rock's repercussions has been ticket sales that have gone thru the roof. Nastiness has become more acceptable since Trump's presidential campaign

1:49 pm

cybernan

if someone made an issue of my husband's appearance caused by the ravages of cancer on TV, I would slug him too

1:50 pm

LuvWordGames
