I found the second 2, with Wikitionaty you can add Misconfigured if you like.

I murdered that spelling its Wiktionary

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abend

Can't trust words on wiki's.  I wouldn't say they're "official" until they make it into Oxford's English Dictionary.

Yes you can, some other computer person that was mad at oxford added those and they have the correct definitions.

Steve, I guess you're talking about Scrabble?

Yes. Lost my head.

RTFM err dictionary before playing

Read the dictionary? Okey dokey. I'll get right on it, TS.

You better hurry, dokey isnt a word!

I think the question has abended.

No, of course not . . . I referring to 'dokey' as in "Okey, dokey artichokey!!"

I thought it was "Okey, dokey, smokey?"

That's the Matrix1000 version. Wink, wink. I don't do emoticons. Is 'emoticon' a word? God help us all.

I second that emoticon.

Is ;)  a word?

Well I'm still fuming over 'abend' since it's not in Oxford or Merriam Webster so here's a pointer to a new question:

Haha, thanks for the support.
I'll risk it and use it and if I lose the RFP I'll blame it on that.

Glory to GOD!

I can't believe that in a post about words nobody pointed out my use of "Dictionarys"

I'm still finding no non-wiki abends.  So maybe they don't exist any more!
