A Game of Cold-Blooded Murder [Game Over]

[El Barto]

If it is in the dictionary, it's a word now. Why? Because it's in use, unlike thousands of other words in the dictionary that no one ever really uses, and the definition is publicly known.

Because language is evolving, it doesn't have many defined or permanent rules. But one of them is, if I can find it in a dictionary, and people use it as a word, it is now a word. That's it, folks.

From said wiktionary entry: [INDENT]'thus +‎ -ly, dating from the 19th century, seemingly coined by educated writers to make fun of uneducated persons trying to sound genteel, with a false inference that thus is not an adverb.'[INDENT] Wiktionary ain't an official dictionary, Askthepizzascum. vote: Askthepizzaguy for faulty argumentation

"Ain't ain't a word."

Except now it is. Suck on that, English teacher.

I amn't sucking on anything, colonial mispronouncer.

Okay, I'll be IN this game as well.

To really understand english, you need to look at its linguistic underpinnings and roots in french, german, and ancient Celtic!
