??Feedouchenary Relationship??

What is this and what conncetion does it have with the security of the AAC site. If you're going to try to express yourself it would be helpful if you could use real words and sentences with understandable syntax and semantics. I'm a native speake of English and I have trouble understanding this and other posts. I can't speak for the non-English speakers but they must be having difficulty as well. Would it be too much to ask for some clarity?

I think you made the word up, and that it is similar to another word which means something else. I find it odd that, the only Google hits for the alleged word are the posts in this forum. I know some Old English and you are definitely not writing that. Actually I'm at a loss for an appropriate description, but I think it is fair to say that it is extremly difficult to devine what you are trying to say from the methods you choose to express yourself. If it makes you happy then by all means swing for the fences.

Loosewire,
Word inventor? My advice is don't give up your day job.

While there is always a need for new words to express new ideas, the need for new words that are merely misspellings of existing words is much smaller.

On the "Old English" comment, here is some actual Old English, along with its Modern English translation:

OE: se hwæl hine ábær tó Nineuéa byrg
ModE: the whale carried him to Nineva

The Old English is just barely recognizable to a modern English speaker. With the translation, you might be able to recognize a few of the words. Pretty obviously hwæl is whale, and even accounts for the way many people pronounce words that start with "wh" as if they were spelled "hw." ábær means carried; the infinitive is to carry, a synonym of "to bear." You can pick out Ninevah without much effort, and the last word, byrg, is almost identical to burg, town or city. Don't ask me what a whale was doing in the middle of present-day Iraq, though; I didn't make up this sentence.

I have heard that some of the folks in the remote parts of the Appalachians still speak a form of Elizabethan English (e.g., I'm a-going to town). This is not the same as Old English, which had its own alphabet that included letters like thorn (þ, as in þǽræfter or thereafter) and æ (as in æcern or acorn).

It is one thing to invent a new word with appropriate explanations and context. It is quite another thing to create the appearance of erudition without anything to back it up. Some may be amused at your effots to draw attention to yourself, but I hardly think it reflects well upon you.
