Steemit Lexicon – an array of additions - and how to submit an addition - Community Project
Do you ever come across something which crops up repeatedly in your life and there just is no word for it?
This project is open to all steemians. Simply return your submissions in the following format:
Word.(in bold) [phonetic spelling] Type or types of word. (V. Trans., V. Intrans., N., Adj., Adv., Conj., etc.) Definition. Include variations (Var.) Examples are encoraged if the definition is open to interpretation. Synonyms may also be used but a full word definition is always preferable. This is a Dictionay rather than a Thesaurus.
Phonetic Spelling: Use the Cambridge Dictionary
The Steemit Lexicon is here to fill that gap for the inhabitants of the steemit community – it is a guide to language associated with life and experiences connected with the Platform.
This Lexicon will grow over time and it will assist you in expressing the full gamut of emotions, the full functionality and assist you in explaining the intricacies of what it is to be a steemian to non-steemians.
I kicked things off, ably aided and abetted by @kus-knee and his inspiration.
