(I couldn't find an appropriate thread for this, so I'm posting it in a new topic so someone can merge it in the right place.) So I found this page recently, it contains about every word in the English language. http://www.mit.edu/~ecprice/wordlist.100000 |

"mcmc" is not a word. "gpx" is not a word. "cbgb" is definitely not a word. "Google" is one of the words, and "Futurama" is in there too. Heh. |

Code: the Lol i so clever.English language I remember there used to be a site where you could do a regular expression search to find words you wanted in the English language, and I liked it, but now it's gone. Now that someone published this list, it wouldn't be too hard to write a new one. ^ SEE I TOLD YOU WE NEEDED A PROGRAMMING FORUM |

Quote: grenadaguadeloupeguatemalaguiana ...Is that a word? I can't tell. By the way, this list fails for not having antidisestablishmentariaism in it. |

List One also fails for not having the epic word axolotl in it. List Two does, though, so it's automatically better. |

It doesn't have the word "grumblesome". It's a word I just made up about two nights ago, but it's more of a word than a lot of the stuff in there. |
