Nerd Word of the Day: Lexadaisical
Lexadaisical: adj – Being lackadaisical with your lexicon.
Examples of this would be your instead of you’re, its instead of it’s, or as Will Farrell said in one of his funny impersonations: “strategery.”
You gotta except it, its so common for people to be lexadaisical, if not, than I’d say your a genius!
Can you think of other examples of lexadaisicalness?
Thanks Evan Owen for the suggestion!Click here for more nerd words.

One ‘like received’ ?
Texting makes people lexadaisical. They like 2 type msgs 2 u like this, and say OMG WTF.
….using the word “got” in place of “have”…we’ve got a problem…” if broken down, it means we have got a problem … why do we need the word got? Got is the past tense of get. Get means to obtain.. So why do we always use the wrong verb or include it when it’s not needed? So, the correct way would be “we have a problem”…

:lol: Is Jack a [character]? :?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters :razz: A Chinese character, also known as a Han character (simplified Chinese: 汉å—; traditional Chinese: æ¼¢å—; pinyin: Hà nzì), is a logogram used in writing Chinese (hanzi), Japanese (kanji), less frequently Korean (hanja), and formerly Vietnamese (hán tá»±), and other languages. Chinese characters are also known as sinographs, and the Chinese writing system as sinography.
The number of Chinese characters contained in the Kangxi dictionary is approximately 47,035, although a large number of these are rarely used variants accumulated throughout history. Studies carried out in China have shown that full literacy in the Chinese language requires a knowledge of only between three and four thousand characters.[1]
In the Chinese writing system, the characters are morphosyllabic, each usually corresponding to a spoken syllable with a basic meaning. However, although Chinese words may be formed by characters with basic meanings, a majority of words in Mandarin Chinese require two or more characters to write (thus are poly-syllabic) but have meaning that is distinct from the characters they are made from….infoo0rmation from —

I do to but I don’t understand he’s saying Jack is character. What does my name have to do with Chinese? I know Chinese form of Karate. It’s called Kempo, and it’s from the Shaolin Temple. Also my middle name is a common Chinese name. But that’s about it. Ok I eat with chop stick way to much, I’m not Chinese. I’m a black kid that was baptized in chlorine bleach water.

Captain Jack, it’s called “free association.” Leonard called you a “character,” meaning an eccentric, but immediately thought of “character,” how we describe Chinese writing, and took off on that tangent.
Interesting, too, that the Japanese kanji derives from the Chinese word hanzi. Did you know that “Korea” comes from the Japanese attempt to pronounce the Chinese kao li, meaning “high and beautiful”? (Koreans call their country Hanguk. That’s what my [taekwondo] instructor told me.)
See? I’m doing a “leonard” by free-associating. :razz:
Oh I call that going off into an tangent. I do the same thing all the time. I do that when people stop taking and just stare at each other like cows. Not even doing a thing, just staring. I guess it’s what lazy people do. Just stare. I have things to do, places to go, and people to do. :lol:
I never really explored Taekwondo before. I did learn a bit of Shim pru ryn. Not sure if I spelled that right. I really missed practicing karate. I seem to be good at it. One time both schools competed in some different events. I wasn’t a black belt yet, but I learned a kata that only black belts learned. After sever months of practice I use that kata. I won the trophy for best kata between both schools and against black belts even. I was shocked!
Have you had any cool experiences in karate?
[importance] :lol: [Central] to what you are…how do you share?
…I know sense!!!…soul sorry 4 U
@CaptainJack
Cool experiences in karate? I fell once when doing a flying side kick, hit my head, and forgot I was divorced. After practice, I drove to my old home, walked in and sat on the couch. You should have heard the [epithets] my ex screamed at me when she and the kids returned. :o
@Evan
Wow! That must have been an experience that you’ll never forget.
I guess breaking your own nose from doing an elbow strike to an invisible man’s head doesn’t compare, but sure is funny though. :lol:
Dear Marina,
It;s easy for people to be sloppy with their speech. It’s excusable for a foreign person to do this, because they weren’t trained to use English grammar and pronunciation. Hence they speak with an “accent” (French, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, etc.)
An example is a quote from Ricky Ricardo, “Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do.”
A German student pronounced the ancient Greek God, Zeus, as “Zoice” (as if it rhymed with Deutsch).
We who grew up here, went to school, and consistently heard and saw US radio and television, don’t have such excuses. We should know better, but we often hear sloppy speech:
“Morning” instead of saying “Good Morning.”
“You Spika da English?” to foreigners, instead of “Do you speak English?”
“Je-et?” instead of “Did you eat?”
“Witchy Vun you want?” instead of “Which one do you want?”
So don’t be embarassed about your speech. We can make enough errors on our own. :razz:
Seesixcm6
Bad pronunciation can sometimes easily mislead you, even if you are a master of spelling :grin:
The discrepency betwixt what is said and what is written is not as important as the discrepency between what is said or written and what is done. We should keep in mind that the slightest discrepency between what is done and what is said is enough to sow the seeds of rebellion. And history has plenty of examples of this to show us.
Under communism, man exploited man, but under capitalism, it’s the other way around.

[Glossolalia] is commonly called “speaking in tongues”…’Glossolalia’ is constructed from the Greek word γλωσσολαλιά, itself is a compound of the words γλῶσσα (glossa, meaning “tongue” or “language”) and λαλεῖν (lalein, “to talk”). The term ‘speaking in tongues’ is a translation of these two components of the same word. The Greek expression (in various forms) appears in the New Testament in the books of Acts and 1 Corinthians….got any gum?
I’ve seen….I suppose it’s more appropriate to use the term “witnessed” glossolalia. I was told it was happening by a member, and I drove past the church, with it’s front doors swung wide open, and people were blabbbering and acting crazy. It was a quaint little church in Ben Lomand, California, where they had an independent congregation that went nuts once a week during church services, talking in tongues, allegedly straight to the big honcho in the sky. The dude with the mightiest ronny in the Universe, God, no other. Which is cool, but their parade got rained on when the pastor of the church ran off with one of the member’s wife and the entire contents of the church funds. Was that a message from God? You decide.

äläx is right; and I’m sure you–the world’s brightest philologist–know the truth here: every ‘language’ starts out as a “[creole]” (the “slaves’” adaptation of the “masters’” language)
Well said. ;-)
You could update “[creole]” to mean ‘the “truthiness” of the Web 2.0 “etchings” (i.e. :-))-meaning-LoL-meaning-”Laugh out Loud”-meaning-’golly-gosh that would be funny’-meaning-”recent occurrence of humorousness” etc.-etc.)
so here’s my opinion.
this is nothing to do with the lexicon.
it’s nothing to do with grammar.
language — this should be everyone’s daily mantra — is not based on letters, it’s based on sounds.
in cases like your / you’re or except / accept, we’re talking about homophones:
they’re mostly spelled differently.
using your instead of you’re is merely a spelling mistake and, therefore, not a grammatical error. (grammar != spelling.)
here’s a lexical mistake i made recently:
“… yeah, but she’s not that old anymore. errr … i mean young, sorry.”
this happens because along with the target word, other words are activated in the lexicon as well (yes. the lexicon doesn’t work like a fucking dictionary; surprise, surprise.).
also, when slips of the tongue occur, the target word and its substitute belong to the same word class; an adjective is replaced with an adjective, a noun with a noun, and so forth.
the lexicon is about meaning and sounds, not about spelling.
goddamnit.
the fuck is buzzword at?
Hey äläx,
I like your opinion as you broke down the relevant elements with respect to the context of this post, which is lexadaisical, a whimiscal mashup of group of letters to which a new meaning has been attached.
From a linguistics point of view, the lexicon, amongst other things, is the total inventory of morphemes in a given language.
From a non-linguistics point of view, the word lexicon is also defined as a wordbook or dictionary. Generically, a lexicon is an inventory or a record.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/lexicon
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/LEXICON
So, the word lexicon is a homophone where there are two words with the same spelling and pronunciation, but having a different meaning.
In the end, when someone has to put words onto paper, correct spelling, one of the prescriptive elements of orthography is important in order to communicate effectively.
So, even though what you say makes sense from language point of view as you stated, the average person doesn’t know that and that person is mainly concerned with the meaning and spelling of a word, which of course gets into a different part of linguistics such as neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and so on.
So, in the practical world, spelling is important and many people either did not learn the rules, made up their own or forgot the prescriptive rules. (We’re not going there again – LOL)
In the “real world”, both points matter.
Alex you hit the nail on the head. These are the things that really bother me about the English language. As you seen below, I’m struggling with ‘where’ and ‘were’. It’s one damn letter. Its and It’s driving me crazy. I wish some linguists would stand up and fix this language. Well I’ve said that before, but I don’t see any takers.
No one can be expected to follow the rules if there are none. Well there used to be rules. There are so many exceptions to the rules, it make them out dated and useless. If a new word is created, who sets the rules how its to be used? Don’t get me wrong, I like the English language for its ability to take on new words, but there needed to be an agreed rule on how they are to be used or how its to be spelled.
I really like the USCG rules of navigation. When you first read them, they are confusing as hell. That’s because they are written very dry to fit legal speak. You know lawyers will take one little word and beat you in the face with it. Once you get to understand the rule it becomes very clear. Fortunately there are books our there that put it all in normal English. Even a 12 year old can understand them. There is only one exception to the rules. Rule #2 says you can depart from the rules if it means to avoid a collision. It’s up to the skippers discretion. If there is a collision then you can be brought up on charges for not following rule #1 or rule #2 or even #3. There are no ifs, ands, or butts. Though it does offer you the flexibility to make last minute changes to fit the situation at hand.
I find it interesting that all the rules I need to know on driving a boat will fit in one hand. Life saving rules. Yet in English, I would need something the size of war and peace.
I guess Im more annoyed with the people who make the English language rules than the people who don’t follow the ones that are there. If I see a spelling mistake, I put more blame on the people who set the rule in the first place. I just wish some linguists would step up to the plate and fix this once and for all.
Oh one more thing it’s much easier to speak English that it is to write it. Apparently one is less bound to the rules when speaking but are bound when writing. This which adds to the confusion.

äläx, thanks for coming back.
I was really interested in linguistics many years ago, then I abandoned it. I’ve recently become interested in this fascinating field of knowledge again.
teaching an ape to speak would be easier than getting people to understand these concepts.

Great word, Evan.
I know, that was soooo funny.
There is another error up in that one sentence,
the use of “than” instead of “then”.

I’ll give you three! “Febuary,” “cadillac converter,” and “infer ” (when the speaker means ‘imply’). The first two are lazy pronunciation by non-readers, the last a usage mistake.

ZZZzzzzzz…
Good suggestion Evan! I work my tail off to try and not be to lexadaisical with my comments.
I get annoyed with students improperly using your instead of you’re, and its instead of it’s. Oh the list I can make!
The two words I’m still struggling with is Where and Were. PK I think it was that suggested a little memory aid for me but still get confused. One of my tags is just not sticking well.
What’s a tag? They are little memory aids I use to memorize data. I have a very hard time memorizing things. So I tag it with a story or more often images. It works rather well for I can memorize a grocery list of about 50 items. Though it takes time and I have to make the tags very complex and creative. It wears me out at the end of the day. I think its a good brain work out and even boost your IQ.
I totally hear ya cap’n. I myself get really annoyed with students improperly using pneumosillivolnosis instead of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicoÂvolcanoconiosis. Yah, damnity. Who do these illiterate bastards think they are, eh?
BTW cap’n, you say you can memorize more or less 50 tags? A couple more and you can get into poker! A couple fourtenight more and you could get into tarot!! WOW! It could be a big fat juicy $ideline for ya I tell ya. WOW!! Think about it!
Well more than that. Take something like “egg” now make a sentence out of it. Make sure the sentence is ludicrous, even to the point it has little in common to the next item on your grocery list. Now make a sentence for all 50 items. The list becomes a 500 to 1,000 words you have to memorize. Those 1,000 words are my tags.
I add these word tags to many things to my every day life. I do this all day long. When most people are walking their brains though life I’m running. Also at the same time I’m thinking about 3 to 5 things at once. Even as I type this, Im watching a tv show, listening to the Marine VHF radio, thinking about some boat stuff, and wondering how Im going to shut my mind down tonight so I can get some sleep. Many times I just have a beer but I don’t like to drink.
I don’t even know how to play poker. I think its a boring game. Some people suggested I should learn because I would be good at the mind games. Apparently that’s a key part of playing. Again, booooorrrrring.
Hey Captain,
if you want to shut your brain down w/o alcohol, try the following.
Take a salt shaker and do one quick shake of salt on to a teaspon.
It should look like a light snowfall where you can see the teaspoon amongst the sprinkles of salt. Now, dip the tip of your tongue into the salt in the teaspoon and let the salt dissolve. You don’t need to pick up much salt. Just maybe one to two hundred or so crystals.
Do this just before going to sleep. You’ll be out in 15 minutes.
Let me know how it works for you.
You can google info about the electrical brain phenomena using keywords like, “salt on tongue”.
Happy dreams.
I say he should count sheeps. But not the 2600th one if he reaches it without falling asleep, ‘cuz this one has a very bad reputation.
I’m pretty sure that is false. I can spot that fake a million miles away. ;-) If it were so, I would pass out from eating as much potato chips as I do. Secondly I sometimes Beer is just not enough. Maybe I should try sex. That should keep…. no wait.. Naw that wont work either. I put much thought into that too. I get very creative and adventurous. I guess just a hard whack across the forehead with a solid oak 2 by 4 is my only hope. :|
See, your brain is probably geared just like a cap’n Crunch whistle. Blow it at the right frequency and it’ll run like hell with its electrified neurons shooting in all directions at the same time, establishing synaptic connections here and there, and you’ll start talking and typing anything anywhere like crazy without much thinking about it. Wait. The words coming out of my fingertips make no sense will you say. But let me explain myself.
Believe it or not, most of us poor men can do only one thing at a time. Like drink a beer. Or have a rest. We give it all we’ve got, we focus all our neurons and synapses on a single task at hand and it suckles all of our brainy energy, then we need to have a lunch. Everybody being able to do more than that is probably a super-genius I’d say.
This reply is to your comment # says: 13.2.1.1.2
starting with, “I’m pretty sure that is false.”
The intake of salt itself does not hammer you to sleep like alcohol does. Salt when placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve is what alters the electrical stimulus to the brain, making way for you to get to sleep. Salt is a facilitator.
With potato chips, there is much less salt allowed to come in contact with the tongue in the first place, which is washed away by any beverages. Also, even if there was sufficient salt to stay on the tongue for 15 minutest, any stimulus such as bright lights, TV and so on are distractions that will keep you awake. Salt does not force you to sleep. It facilitates it when you are ready to sleep. I use this safe method on occasion and it works great. I don’t use it every night.
The reason that I recommend this technique is because it can train your body to accept sleep as opposed to whacking it to sleep with alcohol.
Here are some links that will surprise you and I bet you didn’t know some of this stuff about salt and how important it is to the body.
A short posting in the procedure. I forgot to mention to drink a glass of water beforehand. The technique comes from a book “Your Body’s Many Cries For Water” written by an MD
http://www.sleepnet.com/insomnia3/messages/200.html
Some Hidden Miracles of Sea Salt.
I knew some of the benefits of salt in the article, but not most of them. Very interesting.
A blog about Salt and its benefits
In this blog, the author focuses on “Whole Salt”. Even though I might agree with what he says, table salt is just as effective when using it to help you fall asleep.
That may work for some people, but in my case it will not. My mind never shuts down. Sometimes I awake in the middle of the night with a new idea or a solution to a problem. Schedules keep me awake. I hate missing an appointment because I over slept. Schedules, time clocks, calendars, all parts that keep me awake. Hence is why I plan to buy a nice offshore capable sailing yacht and sail around the world. I’ll be on Island time and I’ll be able to sleep much better. I’ll be come more productive when I have no schedule but my own.
I did discover one thing. I find it very easy to sleep during the day. When it’s dark out I tend to wake up a bit. Though to much darkness causes many other problems, i.e. S.A.D. and issues from the lack of Vitamin D.
You watch to much news without grains of salt. 2600 club doesn’t have a bad reputation. No more than jet planes crashing. Yes sometimes they do crash but not to the level of car crashes that kill hundreds per day but you don’t see it in the news as often. The news is all about shock and awe to sell commercials so the news media can by their mansions.
If you were a black hat hacker and you were seen with a 2600 mag under your arm, you would be laugh at. It’s like someone reading Star magazine vs Scientific American. A scientist would be laugh at reading Star.
Wow, good memory Captain.
Yes, it was I that referred you to a way to
remember when to use where versus were.
Notice that there is one letter difference
between the two words, which is the letter “h”.
The “h” in where spells out the
memory key tag for you which is “here”.
Here is a location as I am standing here
as opposed to there.
Were is the past tense of the verb “to be”.
I was hungry.
You were hungry.
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/to_be.htm
I got the ‘Where’ tag down very well. ‘Were’ tag still not working for me. I keep forgetting the “to be”.
“I’m tired turning into a ‘Werewolf’ every night. I wonder what I would be like ‘To Be’ human again.”
Ok I’ll try that tag. I’m sure this will stick. You know I can talk like the radio star Wolf man Jack. I got it down pretty well.
I just learned something. Not everyone can remember back to when they were 5 years old. I can remember it like it was last month. I’ve tried very hard to selectively remove much of my memories. My sister like to remind me of the horrors I went though. Damn her! LOL

Oh, yeah, the your / you’re thing gets under my skin often when I’m reading. And the plural vs posessive vs posessive plural thing, too. Now this one may be a local colloquialism, but if someone, when speaking, uses “ideal” instead of “idea”, it stands my hair on end. I hear that one fairly frequently. I can speak informally as well as formally, but Jeez La-Weez there has to be a few parameters…..

lexadaisical in one way, but certainly make it
a lot faster to find and look at information.
Would all of those abbreviations be lexadaisical?
