Wordle and/or other word games.

Oh, do they use locus delicti like they use corpus delicti? Interesting if that's common enough to count as English.

I agree - it really is insane when you have 4 letters and a definite position and a number of non-positions and you are left with no words that you consider to be proper words...

TASER
POUND
ANNUS

i worked for the Army and Navy... quite often heard.
the less vulgar phrase is, "Situation normal, all fouled up".

So, is FFS a word now? ASAP, LOL, IMO, etc? Wordle is making me grumpy these days.

I guess it's a word if it's in the dictionary. Acronyms do become words over time if enough people say them as full words rather than spelling them out for long enough... But the online Scrabble I played with my nephew for a while (Wordfeud maybe?) didn't recognize most of them as such. Then again the US version did, so I guess different countries just have different habits 🤷‍♀️ And maybe they try to keep us on our toes by using very different kinds of words.

Anyway: quick one today.

a word i can confidently say that i've never used in a sentence.

first 4 in 10 days, yet 4's are still leading at 44%.
explaining probability to someone is not often easy.

from the 20 mule team commercial days, i wasn't sure if this was a word or a brand name.
