DoogieJ Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 heheh, i thought of copyright (thanks to inspiration around work) then just kept adding...I hope it's a legal word, didn't have a dictionary at work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 yeah that's a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 but unfortunately, not an actual word. or so says my fatass webster's dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf_ucsd Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 i think it's a word. dictionaries aren't going to list all versions of a word once amended by suffixes and prefixes. does that mean uncopyrightable is a word? not necessarily, but it also doesn't eliminate the possibility that it is.

Professor Peedston Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 well, my dictionary lists copyrightable, copyrighted, etc., but not uncopyrightable. also if you go to dictionary.com, and type into the search thing, it recognizes all the variations with suffixes and prefixes as words except for uncopyrightable. that doesn't necessarily eliminate the possibility that it is either, but it's a case against it. either way, i don't think anybody's going to rat you out and say "wait a minute, that's not a word!" if you use "uncopyrightable" in a sentence. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soleil Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 when i saw it, it didn't seem like a word, but i guess since we're trying to reach some kind of record here, it will do. :D i'm really bad with words, so i'm probably not going to think of anything really good. got 0 vocab. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
