What words ought to exist

Tom7 my goat. Love the colloquial aside the earnest

fn3: As of 2011, the official Scrabble slog is “every word’s a winner!” which is clearly false.

In a parenthetical digression about the inherent invalidity of one-letter words, Tomska points out that

according to the official Scripps National Spelling Bee rules, the speller may optionally pronounce the word to be spelled before and after spelling it. So if “s” were a word, then the following ridiculous exchange obtains: Judge: “S. The letter s. Etruscan origin.” Speller: “S. S. S.” And the judge cannot tell if the speller meant to state the word before and after, or thinks the word is spelled “sss”.)

The guy called Andrew Markov had an idea which is pretty obvious in retrospect, but he had it like a hundred years ago before any of us were born (probably; if not: you are old), which he didn’t call Markov chains but now they’re called Markov chains because I guess in the hopes that contemporary mathematicians will get stuff named after their dead selves if they keep the tradition of naming stuff after dead people alive.

And:

Ugh, poop city!
