I am starting a new thread with xara's last post since we are now up to some ungodly number of posts and some systems take an eternity to scroll up or down xars says on Oct 26th
Re: What are we?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What about wordsters? It reminds me of roadsters. Gives the impression of driving down the linguistic highway at about 45pph (posts per hour) with the top down. NOW, WHAT WE HAVE TO DATE…. We have Awadees, Awadtalkers, awadwhingers, logolept, logologist, logomach, logolators, linguaphiles, awadettes, awadwhiners Awaders, awaddlers, awadeers, Awaddy, wordies, logoscente or logoisseur Boarders, awadian, Awaddywaddy (even if Shanks did just make it up  ), Waders babellers, wordmasters, babblers, and finally wordsters.

Don't forget Astacks - another original contirbution by yours truly.
But Marty above seems to have the answer, saying "Call us Anything-you-like-except-unanimous" I think it has a nice ring to it. A cool acronym too: ayleu.

I agree, and if one makes an appellation out of it, for example ayleurs, it has a nice ring to it. Of course, were such a creation as "ayleur" to be accepted, that would smack of the paradoxical, would it not?

Not sure.
It might smack of the piscine.
Or is that smacked with a fish?
Where's Shona when you need a velocipedist?

Marty
As you can see, both Max and I have accepted your convention: we are happy to be Ayleurs. Quick, start a signature campaign...

Maybe I'll follow Shona's lead and post furiously, perhaps a hundred in a week, and call every post Ayleur, including the word dozens of times in each post to make sure it quickly gains currency. Naturally every one of these putative piscine posts would include credit for Marty as author.

There you go Anna. We've just come up with a solution, and that same old aylment takes over the ayleurs - the need to be contrarian. Just accept the ruddy thing why don't we and move on! <---- only because I can't remember the code for "sticking my tongue out at you too, and waggling my fingers from my ears at the same time". cheer the sunshine warrior
