I appreciate this list. A lot of the words that have meaning to you have meaning to me. Then again. I'm pretty promiscuous with teh words. Thanks for Reaganite and freedom fries

I agree on all counts. For me, there really *are* many thousands of words that have significance to me or that somehow fill out a list. Many of them, for example, are words that I associate with people I've known--when you take that into account, how many thousands more are possible? :-)

It's also interesting to find out why people add words here. Some pick out the "jewels," some like to make comprehensive lists....To each his own--that's the beauty of Wordie!

Funny, seanahan, that's my thing too. I don't give a damn about numbers, I like words. Glad there's a site for all of us who do!

When you consider there's millions of words in the English language, what's 3000 well-chosen ones? You have a love of the language also. A year from now people will have 30,000. Hope John has the bandwidth.

My thing is that I like for all of my words to have some significance to me, or to be necessary for some list. I understand that people seem to have this thing with quantity, or will grab up any word that has any meaning whatsoever, but I'm not like that.

Which, admittedly, are legion. But I never thought I was such a profligate in the word department. Heavens.

No need. No need, really. I'm doing this... for *your sins*.
;)

Gosh, chained_bear, and we haven't even offered you a tip!

I thought the same thing when I took my first hit of Wordie. But now I'm hooked, and 3000 isn't enough.

Actually, in all seriousness, I try to be careful about adding words and prefer to "favorite" people's lists rather than add more than, say, 5% of their words to one of my lists. On the other hand, I'm not just adding words, I'm categorizing the entire English language. I've taken this project on myself for the good of the world and the salvation of other Wordies. You're welcome.

Hey, some of us just like a LOT of words, seanahan. What can I say? :-)

Great list. And thanks for the correction WRT fruitarian. I'd just spelled it wrong. Horrors!

Seriously, what does it mean when you have 3000 words? Is there a word for it, polylogy?

You're right to be protective/picky.

These are my words. I may not have the most, as I am fairly picky as what to add to "my" words.
