All I remember is W getting a lot of flak for using it way back when, but maybe I'm "misremembering" that. Seems there are varying degrees of it's acceptance: http://www.google.com/search?q=misremember&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Webster doesn't have it, but others do. Of course, much to us NLPers chagrin, language is always changing (some would argue for the worse) so if it "ain't" a word today, just wait a while and it will become one. > > To answer the question, no don't think it's written up anywhere except > in the book at the moment. > > On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 2:22 PM, Grant Ingersoll <gsing...@apache.org> wrote: >> :-) W. is back.
