Yeah... I don't mind a good one every once in a while,
but just don't want it to get to be a habit to find
words from as oddball as possible of sources.

Nor would I like to get into the habit of capitalized,
foreign, or acronyms (I really hated "acronymiaray"
game in MPGAMES).

Well, the rules say "any accepted dictionary" without saying what is
accepted or who does the accepting.

Any volunteers to compile an accepted list?

<gd&r>

That is yet another rule that needs revision.
