  • I found an english word lists !

    9 letters :
    i - pi - pig - prig - sprig - spring - sparing - sparking - sparkling
    a - at - ate - late - later - latter - platter - splatter - splattere
    i - pi - pie - pies - pries - prices - princes - princess - princesse
    i - in - sin - sing - sting - siting - sitting - slitting - splitting

    I have a 10 letters one, but it's "sparklingl".
    The english word list I found may not be good...
    (What is a splattere and a sparking ? But they are in the list I found...)
    So, if anyone has a good english words list for feeding in my program... I'm still looking for it !

  • I'm a "male lesbian"

    I dunno, I just can't seem to break the habit I have of want to bang every girl I see with decent T**s and a nice little round ass. I know to be politically correct, I should go for the guys, but I'm male and irretrievably attracted to girls. So I guess that makes me a male lesbian. Now: where the F**k is my support group?

  • I found the word "pederasty"

    It doesn't work at all like 'startling' does, but who gives a F**k ?

  • The Truth

    I could've got that, if only I had more than 2 nanoseconds to figure it out!

  • I just made a program...

    ...that gives all the word sequences like this one for a certain language.
    I did it on a french word list, and I can already say that there's a 11 letters french word that works. (It's "avaliseraie" for the french-speaking curious, mmh quite a strange word, but it was in my word list...)
    I'll give it a run on the english language as soon as I can lay my hand on a complete english word list (besides, if someone got one for me...)
    I'll let you know if I can find better than "startling" !

    By FuzzyGhost 1164242231
    • Ok, ok...

      French : 11 letters : "avaliseraie"
      (avaliserai - avalisera - avaliser - avalise - valise - valse - vals - val - va - a)
      German : none
      (there's no 1 letter word in german, so problem solved. Too bad, they would have break the record for sure !)
      Italian : 9 letters : "nominativ", "esaltavat" or "esaltavam" (among some others)
      (nominativ - nominati - nominai - nomina - nomin - nomi - noi - no - o)
      Spanish : 9 letters : "coartador"
      (cortador - cortado - cortao - corta - cora - cor - co - o)
      And, errr...
      Japanese : a bunch of 7 letters. For instance : "ikkyoku"
      (ikyoku - ikyou - ikyo (I know this one ;) - iko - ik - i

      Sorry, still no english word list...

  • Good for 'im!

    Good thoughtful bit. I'm for anything that promotes English literacy. Sad that most respondents to the comments page have a ten-word vocabulary, three of which are derivatives of "F**k ". Actually rare to see someone comment without taking a profane swipe at someone else.

    By Boy Willie 1163836768
    • p.s.

      did you know that F**k and is one of the few single words that is an adjective a noun a verb and almost all the others rolled into one?
