Happy Birthday and Thanks for the great giveaway!

My favourite word at this exact moment would be: music. I love it and it replaces coffee for me so I'm kinda addicted to it.

Count me in!

Have a nice vacation and a happy B-day.
Thanks for the giveaway, count me insy-doopsy.

My favorite word(z) is CellarDoor...because Drew Barrymore says so.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance Fairfox.
Have a great vacation!!

Not in for the giveaway though (large backlog and recently got something from the community giveaway), but it is so generous of you to host this giveaway. :)

My favourite word???? That's a hard question.
At this moment (and in English language) I will go with life, beacause it is a wonderful thing.

The ones you weren't sure of:

w00ts = cheers, hurrahs. (Think of the sound "woohoo!")

speechacles = speech patterns.

a cappin' bit = a little bit, a touch.

too-too = also, as well.

Heh; I didn't realize there was such a demand. I'm fluent in l33t5p34k, of which Fairfoxian is one of a number of local dialects. If anyone needs a translation going forward, drop me a line.

Not in. +1

Favourite word = Scammer. Everyone is a scammer on the GOG forums apparently.

Was just a light-hearted comment considering how many people seem to have trouble understanding it. :D
I understand it pretty well, maybe not every word of it, but I get it most of the time. :)

Thinking about it, it shouldn't in theory be too difficult. Simply read all text from the page and replace any 'Fairfoxian' words with the standard english. The hardest part would be interacting with the webpage itself.

Have a nice vacation and birthday.

I'm in, although I do not know if I qualify, I'm not sure if I understood your conditions.

One of my favorite words is Žviachať. It means to chew, but said fancily. I have another word which you might like, full of consonants: Škvrna, it means stain. Or a phrase consisted entirely of consonants "Strč prst skrz krk." It means put your finger through(in) your neck.

Thanks!

Happy upcoming birthday!

I don't mind the way you write. (I've seen worse.) :P I do sometimes skip reading some of the things you write, because they take more effort to parse, but that's entirely on me (though does mean that I might be grateful for a slight reduction in its level of craziness). But really, language is an amazing tool, and stretching it (even to the breaking point) to give extra nuance to meaning, and to discover through first hand experience just where the limits are, will to me always be preferable to taking a more utilitarian approach to it, and never discovering the beauty of actually making language dance to your command.

I'm in for the giveaway. Thank you for your generosity!

Oh, and my favorite word depends entirely on context - but one I'm generally always fond of is "vicariously". As in, enjoying things vicariously. Some of the most amazing people in my life are the very best at that.

I forgot to post my favourite word!

It is inflammable because it dosen't mean what it should. I also like colourful because it should be spelt 'cullerfull'.

Happy Birthday, enjoy the vacation too.
Not in, but fave word, equanimity.

Urnoev: I don't understand why you're writing like that... it hurts my eyes and since English isn't my native language, it is actually quite annoying and sometimes hard to read.
English IS my native language, but I still don't have an easy time deciphering her writing. (So mostly I don't bother.)
I consider it to be the written equivalent of someone talking in baby talk to everyone, regardless of age, and using a put-on voice while doing so. If the aim is to be more memorable or "unique", that's a terrible way to go about it.

Happy birthday anyway, Fairfox. : ) I like you despite how you write. I just don't appreciate having to decipher almost every post from someone who I KNOW can express herself perfectly well in English.

(Not in, obviously.)

UK
Summer vacation
pick one:P

Ok, Fairfox, have fun in the UK and I wish you a fantastic birthday! When you come back, kindly inform us on the best beers you tasted.

I'm IN and my favourite (I learnt British English:D) word is...

mastermind

in the way Napoleon Hill defines it

"The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective."
