Oh my, but they really cleaned out the VMK dictionary -- many many "nonsense" words that I was fond of have been removed (like baden, inlalala, doged, graving, grubing).

Also, many of the phrase "shortcuts" have been removed as well (like wrt, ywia, idk).

Some of the (stupid) mispellings are also gone (like wut, wuz, gurl, boi).

And, some truly dangerous, predatory, evil words have been removed (like imaginativeness, helpfulness, togetherness, anxiousness, aliveness, carefulness, capableness, gratefulness, and lameness).

It's interesting that they took out the word "school" before, presumably for safety and to make it more difficult to share information (and "high" for presumably, uh, other reasons). And that they have returned it now, to allow better advertising of High School Musical. Just suggests that advertising is more important than safety?

Here's the complete update:

New words added to dictionary_106:

Edited to add:

Clearly, many words removed were just those suffixed with 'ness'. Ignoring those, this is what was removed:

This only reinforces my notion that VMK staff are watching what we post on these boards, and using our work here to find out what they need to fix!

Hey VMK staff: I'm in Orlando and I'd like a job. :)

Yes, I agree with you. And, actually, I'm fine with it, because it implies that any suggestions for improvements that we post here may also be seen and considered.

I'm glad they removed the words that were just bad mispellings (boi, gurl) that weren't even abbreviations. Nonsense words were obviously mistakes to begin with, so although amusing to me, didn't really have a purpose either.

Hey VMK staff: I'm NOT in Orlando, but would be happy to help out as I can. :)
 
now, if we could just get them to remove "taken"...
 
Yes taking out "taken" would be a good thing but not sure that is going to happen. Just like I do not think VMK should promote "Cute or Boot"....what kind of message does that send children.

Maybe VMK staff should spend less time taking out words and more time reveiwing chat logs and banning players that have stepped over the line and not players that are reported for trival or unjust causes. Just my OP in case VMK staff is reading this. ;)


You are right Be looks like advertising is more important than safety. Wow who would of thunk it! ;)

NO NO NO!!! Not my "grubing" and "grabing"!!! Now I can't change my signature ever or I will lose my favorite words! GR!
 
Dagny said:
I am pretty gr that they took out gr.... :rolleyes:

Oh Dagny!! I'm with you on this one! Even WORSE than grubing and grabing! Gr is my all time FAVORITE word of all on VMK! It just won't be the same if Pink can never say "Gr!!" again....
 
What!! They removed lalalaness - I am so bummed. Hey at least I still have Snap!!! For now. :rotfl2:
 
I agree with you Mal.

The number of words they are taking out is ridiculous. Why even allow us to talk in vmk? :confused3

I fear the day they remove "lol" and "rofl"... vmk should fear that day as well as I know I won't be pleased!!! LOL (and considering the road vmk has taken here concerning the dictionary, I wouldn't doubt seeing "lol" become ###).
 
Oh, this is all still nothing compared to the days early in VMK beta when they took out the word "to" (it's amazing how often you need that word), OR when they took out all punctuation.

No punctuation was awful.

You'd see someone you hadn't seen for a while:
"hi how are you it is so good ### see you"...

You just got a high score:
"yay i had a great game"...

It felt like an entire VMK world of people suddenly overly sedated on antipsychotics. Those were the days!
 
:confused: :eek: No, No, NO, NOOOOOOOOO!!! :faint:



(will be explained when the duck recovers. Anyone got some water to revive her?)
 
Oh my. My already receding emotional range just got smaller.

No "gr"? I will have to revert back to "arg" to express dismay. I moved away from "arg" since people kept thinking I was impersonating a pirate. Now really. If I were impersonating a pirate, I would slice your gullet, eat your hogs, and take your women, not say "arg".

No "holla"? Thank goodness for "woot" then.

Finally, as much as I disparage the impact of texting on spelling, I had given in to the Siren song that is "ur". I embraced "ur" lustily, relishing in typing two characters instead of six. I shall miss it.

Ricks (who thinks uraqt regardless of what VMK says-- "gr owl"? :sad1: )
 
This is pretty low... taking out all of our favorite words?! lalalaness, idk, gr? What will we do without them?!?! Maybe we should request dunno as a word... Then we wpuldn't labor typing "i dont know".
What will VMK think of next? Taking out "taken"? Well, at least we would be happy about that.
I remember the days when people woud rush up to others and constantly repeat "uraqt, are u taken?" It's a good thing VMK didn't think of adding "r" as a word!! So now we can say the names of some people.. and possibly be sharing our personal information?? VMK these days...

This is really stupid... We lost our precious "ness" suffix! At least they didn't remove "afk" or "brb" being the very busy person I am, I use those frequently.

Could anyone get the water? PurpleDuck is... drooling. Yuck. (JK!)

Oh GR!! Now I'll have to say " - makes bad taste sound - " for everything!! lol
 
And no "orly" --- what's a Boom to do?? Better think of another precious nickname for your girl, Boom.. :lmao:
