Re: Project Hyper
Just checking on -ise and -ize: I've obviously been putting all verb conjugations for -ise and -ize where they're listed as alternatives, but usually only -ization is listed as the derivative noun. Did you want -isation added too where there's an -ise alternative? Edit: Going by your deinstitutional...

Re: Bug reports
Drat and darnation. My electronic COED says it's a noun, and the big book says it's a mass noun. Hurrah for Lexplorer being right, and poot for losing and not even being able to feel there was mitigation!

There's quite a list for what you can pluralise (mass noun or not).

You know Father Christmas hasn't been in any games since March, right? I hadn't noticed him missing but he was my first ever DC guest so he really sticks in my head!

On the whole more colourfully-spoken characters subject - I think Father Christmas might dispel a few myths. I'm gutted to be saying it really, cos I love the DC guests and think they're really entertaining. However, since I'm the one that's introduced our cleaner's wee lass to the site to improve h...

Lexplorer doesn't seem to working correctly
Having finally passed an audition I've been tipped to learn some 'stems' (thanks Michael) but when I enter e.g. 'GRADIENT' into Lexplorer it returns all games and all results for the letter 'A'.
Please help - I've got a huge amount to learn in a very short space of time!

Re: Bug reports
I've no idea - I'm guessing not a dictionary, as it's not in the ODE2r (according to Lexplorer), nor my desktop Collins, nor the online Concise Oxford. It's based on the aggregation of about 6 different dictionaries. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to find out which ones include any given word...

Great word, though - it is the plural. I shall remember that, and offer the following (Hollywood) tmeses:What you've defined there is actually a TMESIS - I'm guessing TMESES is the plural.

Hi I don't know (yet) where the problem is but every time I try to load a game it freezes IE. It doesn't help I've only joined today (tho' I'm very excited ;-)) and I also upgraded to IE8 today.
