>How many words did Atomica pick up (do you reckon) from their addition of your list?

just for the heck of it (ack'ing that this came from milum) I'll treat this as a semi-serious query, since it's a semi-valid question. the main-stream atomica dictionary is the AHD (70,000+ words, the same edition that Bartleby has online). the current wwftd word list is ~ 2213 words, and let's say that 2 out of 3 (conservatively) are not in AHD, which would add about 1500 words or 2%.

::shrugs:: hey, they asked for it.

wrongo, anno-strophic,
2% is not a "rimshot" comment, 2% is "nothin' but net".

The Mannekin Pis in Brussels is very valuable.


Does everybody want to take the Pis, then?
