They allow curacao ?!

They won’t allow bellini but curacao is ok? Aren’t both names for drinks derived from proper nouns but used as common nouns?

We already touched on the random abbreviations that are allowed, but others are not.

Like econ. But neocon is a-ok.

And yoyo ‘isn’t a word, either.’ :roll_eyes:

Happy to report that birria is accepted.

Ibid, OTOH, is not. :roll_eyes:

Is hyphenated.

Right. The randomly hyphenated / non-hyphenated words. You’d think tuneup would have one.

But no :roll_eyes:

And no Lenten, either. Huh.

Today: arancini and ricing (as well as ricin, which I guess could be food-related since it comes from castor beans).

That has bothered me for a while now.

No tinto today. :frowning:

Yeah, I tried that one, too.

Finally looked up lulu, since that’s been acceptable forever.

Wut. I learn so much from you, SB :grin:
