I think vmk has gone down ( taking about the people)

Hagen!

Did you just use the word vacuous in a post?

I may have to ban you

To avoid such future calamities, I heard that you were in negotiations with the VMK to implement their dictionary here? Can you comment on this?

The facts of the matter are as follows:

1 My attorneys advise me not to give any specifics until the book comes out
2 My attorneys are paid much more than me
3 The new and revised dictionary, by special injunction, will have a red binding
4 I have heard nothing from VMK since I mailed them "fifty words you should be able to use in VMK," although I noticed "hopeful" is now available. If anyone wants it, I will post the list later today.

...and he used vituperative!! That has got to violate some rule doesn't it?

...and he used vituperative!! That has got to violate some rule doesn't it?

... last I checked, these two fine words are allowable here, but not on VMK. The VMK dictionary makes me want to commit an act of defenestration with it, though. Perfectly legal, according to my attorneys.

Here is the list of fifty words:

hopeful, hopeless, delivery, shouldn't, responsible, winning, multiple, dropping, hm, wasn't, refill, fulfill, hub, adequate, inadequate, awol, folks, guys, guy, silly, impressive, called, messy, tonight, darn, booted, sweep, boss, VIP, balloon, lag, large, scroll, scrolled, reconsider, insane, ridiculous, cable, keyboard, making, re (prefix), un (prefix), terrific, tree, won, nifty, amazing, ate, eaten

I sent it at the end of June. Several have come into use at VMK, but I doubt I can be blamed.
