    Let me tell you something funny. My current English vocabulary and grammar skills have been almost wholly derived from conversation with users on ECC. I, personally, very much appreciate it when people can speak English properly in-game or on the forums. To me that shows intelligence. Although, I must admit, I tend to shorten things for the sake of speed in-game or any other instant messaging platform, but that's because I don't take/have the time to properly formulate sentences.
    On the forums, on the other hand, I have all the time in the world. And I can think about what I type and how I type. And I'm likely to have a worse opinion of someone who doesn't do that. This includes people who use shorthands or abbreviations when posting. The only times I'll be fine with it is when it's used ironically. But I digress.

    What I was going to say is that exposing users to these kind of words in this fashion is likely to be nothing but positive. It's a playful way to expose users to some words they might not know. It's a good thing. And anyone who bashes it or is in any way negative about it earns no respect from me.

    Interesting. I'm wondering if that word is French, also.

    So, you pretty much just flip to a random page in it and choose a word that sounds cool? :p

    Sometimes. I also look for words I know but never hear anyone say, especially when they have a meaning that could potentially be used in the course of a conversation.

    It is pronounced much like 'meen', so it is the context of the sentence which shows which word you mean when speaking.
