ReplyDeletealso, the 'words' I just had to type to publish my statement were 'erectot' and 'tneat'.
ReplyDeleteThose would be awesome Balderdash words. Does it count as a word if its sole purpose for existence is to trick non-humans, and not to actually mean anything? Here when I use the internet I have the pictures turned off because it takes up too many megabytes to load, so once when I had to type those words in, I couldn't see them. And then I learned that there's a thing you can click to hear the words spelled out loud, and it makes a lot of background noise so it's hard to decipher.
