Awaddle sounds like we all have that flappy loose skin on the underside of our chins like turkeys. Not attractive on ladies or gentlemen. There is also that waddling gait that denotes a certain, hmmm, roundness about one's person. Ugh, can I vote this one down.

but wouldn't it be fun to intermix all three?!¿
Oh, go on then. You can't get too much of a good thing!!!!!!!!!???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I propose another punctuation mark - like a question mark but with a downward chevron in place of the dot at the bottom. This would denote a very open-ended question. Or something.

Fish, I'm surprised you didn't rise to the bait. Doesn't ¿ look threateningly like a fish hook to you¿¿¿¿

Eek! I confess, my vision ain't brilliant. But I'm afraid I'd look a real spectacle in fish-eye lenses.

the peaceful Arcadia that has established itself here. Oh yes! Having coined "the awadness" in my parody of one of the Tentmakers fine quatrains, I was already more than half-way to accepting "awadians" - my vote aligns me with wsieber and Jackie - (I'll stand next to you any day, dear. )

Shona's explanation about the master of the game in The Glass Bead Game gave me this idea: what about calling ourselves wordmasters? It is long, but rolls easily off the tongue. Further, we are all masters of some words and trying to master others.

Though a touch arrogant, perhaps? I'm happy with anything the majority settles on...

Interesting concept - have we ever been capable of settling on anything??? I think we generally just ramble on .. and on...
