Thalia Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) LOL. I was just kidding. I didn't really expect you to. mathematical equations quadratical binomial theorem square hypotenuse integral differential calculus Does that mean the other words in the list are accepted?

Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) (OF PRIOR SUBMISSIONS) ONLY THESE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED close waffle letter stem number panic board square star cave This is from all of the submissions so far - I'll maintain this list as I expect rejections to far outweigh acceptances.

Guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Words that could function as two or more parts of speech get through the GGD? Words that could function as a noun and a verb get through the GGD? Edited March 25, 2011 by Perry the Platypus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Words that could function as a noun and a verb get through the GGD? Yep - you got it Perry. Noun and verb it is. For people outside of the UK you might not have heard of "close" as a noun - its an alternative to cul-de-sac for a 'no through road' residential street. My all time favourite use of that word was just outside Watford, Hertfordshire, UK in a place called Bushey. Beside a church, St Peter's, there was a cul-de-sac called "St Peter's Close" and guess what. They built a retirement village in it - St. Peter really was close!

Thalia Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 It sounds like the words are pronounced in a way so that one syllable sounds like a letter name. However, wouldn't aorta, ovoid, and usual get through then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yup, Thalia, letters minus the vowels = consonants, my rule was: If any sound or syllable in the word sounds like any consonant in the English alphabet, like Bee or Sea or Busy, it passes through the GGD.
