And, for those who don't like Greek*: wordstem cutting. So sad you don't use talea for stem cutting (in Italian, I would suggest talea listatoria that sounds so Latin). *I can hardly think of something so... against nature.
Of course it exists... from now on: logocladogenesis* (and logocladogenesimania). *"creating a (new) branch out of a word".
Your comment here, reesetee, apart from being fun, has co-incided with a thought I had this morning. I'm posting on features.
There must be a word for the strong urge to turn a Wordie discussion into a list. ;-)
What I know is that soon we'll have an omphalological list.
Omphalosepsis? I had no idea introspection could be so dangerous.
Better than omphalosepsis, I suspect. But yes, I aspire to be a leading omphalologist.
Wow. Some major omphaloskepsis here, all right. ;-)
I consider myself among the "well-balanced wordies". (Do they exist?)
I think the main activities engaged in by Wordies are: listing, citing, sniping from the gallery, list-making, tagging, and self-analysis.
Don't forget tagging (see discussion there). Some Wordies are more taghappy than others.
Further broken down between useful listings or citations and mere sniping from the gallery.Put me down for the sniping section.
A typology of Wordies might begin by looking at the propensity for listing versus contribution of citations.
