Nov 29, 2018 at 16:03 comment added Mari-Lou A I'd also remove the paragraph beginning with "We are looking for literally just one out of [about a million words]..." It's all very true but I think it dilutes your argument.
Nov 29, 2018 at 15:55 comment added Mari-Lou A I think posting three lengthy detailed answers is excessive. You can always delete one of them. Or why not edit and fill in the cracks with the newer post? I'd also prune it down a bit. The first paragraph is fluff.
Nov 29, 2018 at 5:45 comment added Tonepoet @Mari-LouA I made a pastebin with the promised response. I set it to expire within a week. I am not really quite sure what to do with it. It is far too long for commentary, and it does not seem apt for an answer either, if It adds anything of lasting value at all.
Nov 25, 2018 at 17:51 comment added Tonepoet @Mari-LouA I'll try to address these matters later. I have things to do right now.
Nov 25, 2018 at 17:37 comment added Mari-Lou A Both users had provided their definition, and Sue F. had included that all-important sample sentence in their first draft "Several months ago, our daughter made talking about her weight _______". Now, admittedly the question was very short but was that a valid reason for closing? Because I think they were both closed b/c they looked like typical LQQs.
Nov 25, 2018 at 17:37 comment added Mari-Lou A So next time we should ask a new contributor if they have talked to their mother on the phone? :) Let's presume they have, and let's say they have asked a friend but neither one knows this word. How does supplying that piece of information help the community find that word? The truth is, that type of research was not needed. Answers were in fact posted.
