When I first write it, I think it is a real word, and then someone will ask me what it means, so I try to look it up to get a dictionary definition and it's not there. The general consensus of opinion is usually that it should be a real word, but I reluctantly have to take it out of the text, at least for the time being, until someone higher up the hierarchy comes up with the same word. Why not make up words? Babies have their own language, they understand each other. Who is the person that decides a made up word should become a 'real' word. It's a good job it's not me. You would have dictionaries that you were unable to carry.!Edwinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-79151854045671093832010-04-27T18:03:36.690-07:002010-04-27T18:03:36.690-07:00I actually just learned a new word today that stup...I actually just learned a new word today that stupid MS Word WILL NOT recognize as an honest to goodness word...<br /><br />curtilage<br /><br />haha, fancy LEGAL term for front lawn. There are many words I've made up, I can't think of half of them but the most common is probably "funner". I know this is not a real word but if you can be "better" or "cooler" or "hottest" then something that is (oh say) "funner" than something else. It just makes me mad it's supposed to go...<br /><br />cool<br />cooler<br />coolest<br /><br />fun<br />FUNNER<br />funnest<br /><br />but NO. And I agree with you, FRUMPED is a word but the freaking computer is not completely evolved so it can go frump itself because that is funner than putting red lines under EVERY freaking THING! :) haha<br /><br />GReat post, shakespeare really was a pretty amazing guy!T.J.
