*taps paw* You're due back!

Thanks mia...
you are so very kind....

I'm really, really smart ;).

How did you guess, Dontcry? I'm an elvin princess! *twirls around in her foofy princess dress*

are you an elf?

Maybe I'll add some Latvian words some time later this year. I don't want to start creating entirely new lists just now, as I'm going to be moving away in two weeks, and will be AWOL from the internets for a while until everything's settled (that will probably take a couple of months, I suppose).

One meow added as per request (see your new and improved list here).

And I'd love for you to engage in some wild speculations! *g* The second part of my nick does Mean Something. Er, well, not really – I've borrowed it form a certain book we've all read. Or should have read *g*

Hi Mia, are you going to add some Latvian words? I'd love to see some and I'm sure there are others here who would also enjoy the enlightenment. Meanwhile, please miao for me here.
P.S. Does your nick mean anything, or should sionnach and I commence wild speculation?

Oh... ha, thanks, B_C! I ♥ your snails!

Have a disorderly conduct
or perhaps a snail...

Sorry, but for me, the delete option is nowhere in sight, and I've tried everything.

Thanks, I'll do that! I'm constantly confusing those two words.

I use IE and I get delete option after I have edited a comment.

btw check the difference between alternate and alternative

Why are you so smart??

Nope. There is no delete link for me, either real or imaginary :/ Could this be attributed to a different browser? I'm currently using IE.

Click on "edit," then click the "edit" button that appears. You'll next see a "delete" link left of the original edit link.

But where do the option to delete the comment pops up, then? Sorry for being a bit obtuse, my mind has been temporarily hijacked by a horde of lipstick-wielding aliens in tights.

No, I just meant that you don't need to change anything in the field after you click on "edit."

Hiya, Reesetee. So, it's all about maintaining a credible pretense, then? Sneaky, sneaky.

You don't even need to edit it; just pretend you're going to. :-) Welcome, Mia.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it to me! It really works? It's quite a roundabout way to go about it; I don't suppose there was a way for me to infer it.

To delete a comment:
First of all edit it, to reduce it to e.g. one letter.
Then after you press the edit button, you are offered a chance to delete. When you select that, you are asked to confirm.
Et voilà

Daaaang girl. You have more words in one week than I've listed in more than a year!

You are smart......

I sleep best when I shouldn't, for example, when there's a lot of work or studying to do, and currently everything's finished, which accounts for my total lack of desire to sleep. I mean, what's the point? Sleep is more valuable when my precious work time is spent indulging in it.

Pro, sleepless still, even at home? :(

Pity you can't just wake one up and pester them until they start posting words and lists.

So you speak Italian?

I actually decided to move to Sardinia just to have more wordies on line when I'm sleepless at night.

Sleep is for the weak.

fee-ee-ee-ee-ww-ww-ww-kreng!

It looks like all the wordies are sleeping.

It's oh so quiet (shh, shh)
It's oh so still (shh, shh)
You're all alone (shh, shh)
And so peaceful until...

:)

I figured :)

I am very brave.

I know, I went and looked at your profile. Does it mean that you never cry? What do you do then, when the mood for crying strikes? Fight it off bravely? Don't mind me, just asking :)

No, I just don't like crying.

No, in no way am I related to or affiliated with Midlothian, Virginia, though it is a beautiful name. And uh, hello you, too!

And is your name a subtle and genteel passive-aggressive suggestion to random people out there to cease their sniveling and cheer up a bit? *g*

Mia - there's a Midlothian, Virginia. Are you related?;)

Welcome.

Thanks, I'll do that! It seems that it's not easy to find out how to navigate around here on Wordie on your own, you've got to know all these nifty things first – thanks for help, and hi! :)

:)

Try the Meta list and the meta tag page for the rest of the manual. (/tags/faq has never been used much.)

Don't fret Mia. We're pretty easy to get along with. Welcome, have fun.

No problem. It might be worth looking around a bit, though. Some of the more historic pages that offer insight into how this site works (which isn't like any other site I've seen) are bugs and features. (Read from bottom to top, if you haven't noticed that already.) There's also a list of suggested "rules" someplace, though there really are no rules on Wordie, except "be nice." :)

It isn't that you're flooding anything. But everything you enter, whether comment or word, appears within a minute or two on the front page. :)

It just occurred to me that I'm probably flooding all those poor unsuspecting folks who've innocently subscribed to the Wordie's Recent comments and citations feed – I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! :)

Oh, thank you! :) I didn't even look around, to tell the truth. All these words I'm adding here have already been posted on my LiveJournal first, I'm just transferring them here for easier viewing.

I haven't yet fully figured out how this Wordie-thing works, so thanks for your advice!

Hi MiaLuthien! Welcome to Wordie. I hope you stay with us and enjoy the site!

You may not have noticed the 12 icons below each word on a word page. Each of those takes the user to a dictionary. So you may want to reserve your valuable comment-entering time to enter usage notes, unusual definitions not in any dictionary, or other text, rather than entering a definition on each word page.

Just an idea. Welcome!
