Word Game Comments Area
Word Game Comments Area
This area will be used for anyone who wants to comment on the game. I did say the game and not the words themselves.

What counts as a word?
Since this is the appropriate place now to post comments and questions(?) about the word game, I'd like to ask what everyone considers a single word. Is it a single word, consisting of just letters, without spaces or hypens? Or, as in the case of nouns, can it be an entire noun, such as Mr. Rogers? Like to use Mr. Roger's Neighborhood as an example, would this need to be posted by two people or three? And since I am assuming that this is the type of thing that Patrick has set-up this space for anyone who read my response on the other thread can respond here, I assume. I want to know how other people feel about this too, especially as it appears there are at least two different opinions about this out there. Thanks

Man I was never good at American, ie english, or spelling for that mater of fact,. but I would say that Mr. Rogers and neighborhood can be seperated, unlike a city and state, that they would require two people to post. ie one for Mr. rogers and one for neighborhood. Just my brainless thoughts.

Yea, we will be using as like a dorky language - that's good idea.

Ok, good, I didn't want to get everyone upset, but I also wanted to be sure that it was clear what a word consisted of and what it did not consist of. Sorry if I've been a bit of a jerk about it, I can be that way sometimes...never resting until I have a clear definition. And I don't think anyone is gonna be overly terrific at the English/American/railfan dialect unless they've studied it a lot, like if they're gonna teach english in the schools, or something. Thanks, Patrick, for defining what is and is not acceptable.
