This is my talk page.

Many of my old timey insults are taken from the NY times article "Almost Before We Spoke, We swore" Sept. 20th, 2005. [[1]]

I realize that no one can access this article, unless you are a subscriber. The graphic from the online article can be seen in figure one to the right and below.

If it is a verb then it can't be "that by which. . " - maybe nihilation. What's that third thing - it doesn't seem to be a definition? SemperBlotto 17:30, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Philosophy is not a language!! (I'll get back to you about the appendix) SemperBlotto 19:59, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is sodium lauryl sulfate SemperBlotto 22:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The second definition was defining detergent not sodium lauryl sulfate. Not all deterents are ionic - so that bit stays. External links are at level 3 not 2. SemperBlotto 23:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In case u hadn't notice, we already have a Wiktionary:Word of the Day (notice the capitalisation). Just to save you the work, I thought I'd tell thee --Dangherous 01:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for help with WOTD. On my user page is a list of interesting words I've made notes of while reading - I'm currently putting them all into Wiktionary. I'm only up to E so far, but any of them would make good choices. Good project btw. Widsith 18:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WOTD[edit]

Hello there. As you may have noticed already, your box is on the Main page! Also note that I made it 100% wide, so it might not look all that good on other pages. — Vildricianus 20:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, others made the decision to put it there; I merely did some layout. Cheers. — Vildricianus 20:49, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, WOTD was succesfull, I've redesigned the main pages of this wiki, and so pretty much I'm done here. I'll leave the language work to the linguists. Maybe I could give you my account password, so you can do some admin chores. Either way, I'm not gonna be around here much longer. I will bring some beauty to Wikiquote I think. Cheers for your work. --Dangherous 14:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing that irritates professional chemists more than the use of the word chemical as a noun ! SemperBlotto 07:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you changed the plural, is sequellas still OK? If not I will have it deleted.. sewnmouthsecret 19:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Citations on Wiktionary are different from on Wikipedia. The Citations pages should be formatted as Citations:hinder, and definitely not full of links. Yours Conrad.Irwin 14:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
