BTW, "wreckless" has been around for many years, dictionaries or no. Huh? Give an example, please. I'll second that. The dodos who have been defending "wreckless" are ignorant. It is not now, and never has been, a legitimate word or one that is commonly used. Moreover, their meaning of it, if indeed it were a legitimate word, is directly opposite to the meaning it would logically have. These people want to claim the right to be ignorant and illiterate, and have everyone else excuse and understand them anyway. Doesn't work that way. Uh, this is a Usenet travel group, not a lexicography lecture or a dictionary class. Everyone but, you knew what the person was communicating and that's all that counts. What is more immature than a spelling troll? A punctuation troll? If these things upset your stomach, maybe it's the punct-u-ate. ;-) KM -- (-:alohacyberian:-) At my website there are 3600 live cameras or visit NASA, the Vatican, the Smithsonian, the Louvre, CIA, FBI or CNN, NBA, the White House, Academy Awards & 150 foreign languages Visit Hawaii, Israel and mo http://keith.martin.home.att.net/ |

Also misspellings have been around for years, dictionaries or no. KM Gee! What a revelation. My point is that people should be CAREFUL when they write, even on the Internet, and not afflict all & sundry with stupid mistakes that cloud or sometimes totally obscure their apparent intended meaning. Anyone with ANY command of English has this obligation. People who are trying to make their way in English without really any clue about it can usually be spotted right away, and given some slack. But those aren't, in general, the people who leave these stupid illiterate posts. And no matter how much you fulminate, "wreckless" is NOT a legitimate word. Think about it, if you can. If it had a meaning, that would be "without wrecks" which is pretty much the direct opposite of "reckless", or at least points in a very slaunchwise direction. |

Being an antonym doesn't make it a non-word. And as I pointed out elsewhere, "wreckless" appears in the Oxford English dictionary. Now if I have to choose you as an authority or the OED, guess who wins. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

You come off as someone who is grossly overweight and wants to throw her weight around. Instead of ordering people around on the Usenet, just eat a couple extra desserts.

If you or anyone else doesn't like it, go perform an impossible act. |
