This thread is only for words with four letters or less

If a word is tiny, it must be good. It has more mass, as it is wee.

Can we talk in such a way? I know it's an odd idea, but we are word folk, as it were. You know it's true!

Try it, it's not too hard.

Clodfobble · 07-26-2010, 03:20 PM

I can't even have five? Not fair at all.

Undertoad · 07-26-2010, 03:30 PM

Well, let's say we go to five, only if four is full of suck.

Pico and ME · 07-26-2010, 03:49 PM

To stay at only four need not be hard. In fact, it can be easy and set one free in a way, too.

classicman · 07-26-2010, 03:51 PM

Four does NOT suck at all, its nice.

Flint · 07-26-2010, 04:12 PM

I don't see why this is some kind of hard idea. I do this all the time, even when I don't know that I am. One time, a guy I know did this for a year. Then he said that he did not know how to stop. To this day, a word he uses can only be four or less in size.

That last part, I know, was not the very best, but I need to get back to work now.

Oh, by the way, I do not want us to use five. It can only be four, if you ask me.

Undertoad · 07-26-2010, 04:19 PM

Did you try to do it in real life? It's hard to talk like this... to do it both fast and well is a mind fuck!

What is the min word size for the find tool? Was it four or one less? It may be hard to find this page a long time from now.

Undertoad · 07-26-2010, 04:39 PM

Nice idea, but yes, find will work on four.

SamIam · 07-26-2010, 05:54 PM

My tiny mind has much stuff of five or more.

limey · 07-26-2010, 06:05 PM

This is a good test for my mind and your mind too, but does it mean that the word list from full stop to full stop must be tiny, too?

toranokaze · 07-26-2010, 06:14 PM

A tis or tat lest this test be lost

The word list is not very big, thus, we must make due.

I know we can do this if we try.

So what you note is that when a user, be it lad or lass, goes to make one of this type of post, you see that the end of the work they do will tend to be of a size less than it is when they make a post that does not have the same rule--that is to say, when they are not made to use less over more (as far as word size goes)?
