(ok, i'm stumped. i dunno if this will fly...banj?)

It shouldn't have, imho, because it's not english. But the game moved on.

We should either go back or, from now on, English only as the initial rule was set. Just a fun little game, we should all weigh in on it.

I'm no C++ whiz but I think it's not an acryonym, just a command. Like C Output=COUT. Brew or Sphere could tell us. I think it's a word in the same way that fdisk is a word or Anon is a word. One is a contraction without punctuation the other is a slang word for anonymous. But both are part of the English lexicon (at least, mostly---they're defined anyway).

Acronyms shouldn't count because they don't mean anything. The letters are stand-ins for proper nouns. Contractions have meaning though. They're words in the same way as the contraction that started this sentence----it's a 6 letter word that means, 'they are.' It's a word.

I'm no English expert though and I have no dog in this fight so we should, again, all vote in. In my demented brain, chkdisk is an english word, DOS is not.

I think slang should be judged by you admins and mods. It's your call. My opinion is that 'yanks' is a word, 'jones' is a word (Got a basketball jones! Basketball jones....), and 'Gat' is a word. They would count because they are all used extensively in English speaking cultures and can be defined. Acronyms, proper nouns, etc., should not be included.

What say you all?
