NWR: Anyone play Word Mole?

[Bill Lundstrom]

I thought i would never get over brickbreaker on my crackberry, then i had to replace my phone after the apartment i was renting in paris was broken into. now i have word mole on my new phone and i am smitten.

i imagine some of you would be quite good judging by the writing skills on display here.

the version i have annoyingly doesn't recognize alot of words, i wonder if there is an updated version avialable?

 

[Zachary Ross]

Does it recognize "alot" ?

 

[Cory Cartwright]

I vote "alot" be made a word because grammarians pointing out the mistake is far more aggravating than the actual mistake.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

No, no, no, no, Cory, no. Irregardless.

 

[Cory Cartwright]

I love the word irregardless just for the fact that it throws some folks into blind rages.

"Irregardless, I could care less if this game does know alot of words" he said, sipping a wine from the varietal sauvignon blanc.

word.

I am having trouble orientating myself to this discussion (and am now ducking for cover).

 

[Jeff Grossman]

This kind of talk is not sufficiently unique to merit much attention.

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

That's not real irony.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

My eyes are literally jumping out of their sockets.

By the way, it's also fun to read words wrong. "Word Mole"I wonder if that's a Mexican dish made from braised dictionary.

My friend Hal said he could only think of fermented rice alcohol when he read the expression "for God's sake."

A previous customer of mine -- a bluff but good-natured guy -- once told me that he saw the credits for a movie called "Doing Time" but he sub-vocalized the first word like 'boing', which left him confused for quite a while....

Ah - hyperbole.

Isn't that ironic?

If worst comes to worst, this thread will never end

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

You've got a second thing coming, John.

 

[Scott Kraft]

Let's just hope it takes a different tact.

Speaking as a self-professed linguistic pedant, I find this entire thread distasteful in the extreme and am seriously reconsidering whether I will ever again sit at the same table as an any of you, let alone share a bottle of wine.

Hyperbolically yours,
