Re: New word(s)/word forms in 2012
Thats two words. You've just missed the space-bar.
Re: New word(s)/word forms in 2012
There's no word limit.
'Zenzone' could've started its life with a space-bar. Like, 'to-day' and 'on-line' did. But I mean it post spacebar.

It's like the English language can't say in any real satisfactory/helpful way where we are, presently. The times have outstripped/got way ahead of a language required to describe it. Language is shown to be, not only limited in its use in describing reality, but as - a tool of divergence and non-engagement.

But that's the way it has to be. Language is always lagging behind. If language could somehow outstrip/get ahead of the times, it would be incomprehensible.Pluto wrote:The times have outstripped/got way ahead of language.
Re: New word(s)/word forms in 2012
Yes, I see this also. It makes sense that the construction (language) lags behind phenomena. And I would like to see a language ahead of the times. But I do still feel that language, particulary from a moral standpoint, is missing.

If you can answer that question with existing language, you must be wrong, am I right?
But you can of course invent language and come up with new words. So, go ahead and invent!

I groan anterly appen met dat data thas sits up b4 mei.
Actually, we're back to the top of the thread here, but perhaps more abstractly. The 'Moon' has as many names as there are languages, so why not call it what you might think it is. But, maybe a little like Corporate Speak, you could create new words to induce the rise of new phenomena. The new word would await the rise of the thing being signified. It could wait for years.
I will think a bit on the question.

Right, in a way. Though 'wrong' seems a bit excessive.What is missing?

another important word - santorum
we might end up with a president named after santorum and be the laughingstock of the world

Re: New word(s)/word forms in 2012
for some reason your word santorum instantly reminded me of the word sanitarium.

The meaning of the word is a bit too convoluted and politically biased to catch on.Kayla wrote:another important word - santorum

What would you say is the exact definition?
PS I take it all back.
I see that the definition has been decided and it is wholly appropriate as a homonym for Senator Santorum
Thanks for the link - I hope it catches on.
