Default Unicycling - Not a word?


Today while typing a word document i typed the word "unicycling" it
underlined it as though i spelt it wrong. I then did spellcheck and
learned that it is not considered a word according to the Microsoft word
program, no doubt this is due to the evil genius Bill Gates trying to
shut us out of this nation! "Unicycle" and "unicyclist" however are
both considered words. It's just the verb form of it that doesnt work.
Oh well just what i noticed today. Have a good day....bill gates is
reading this forum DONT SAY ANYTHING TO **** HIM OFF!!!

Go easy on Bill, at least insofar as unicycling is concerned. Check this
out:

Gates-ian ideas work in ad biz
Emmerling, John
Advertising Age v67n39 PP:31 Sep 23, 1996

Six principles that Bill Gates uses to inspire creativity at Microsoft
a
1. Hire the best people.
2. Have a crystal clear direction.
3. Give them time to think.
4. Shorten the feedback loop.
5. Let people feel their impact.
6. Allow unicycles.

I dont really have anything against Big Bill atthis point. He looks
kinda akward but thats it. I just like to pretend like i think i have
wire taps on my house and bill gates is trying to steal my brain every
once in awhile...you know how it is...

sides almost split.

Bicycle is listed in many dictionaries as an intransitive verb: to
travel by means of a bicycle.

Well, as reported by zod, unicycle is not so listed in any dictionaries
we've seen.

But on a lark I threw +"intransitive verb" +unicycle into google and got
this 'Wordsmyth' (http://tinyurl.com/3cxu5) page with the following
entry:

CYCLE
Part of speech: intransitive verb
Inflections: cycled, cycling, cycles
Definition: 1. to move in or pass through cycles:
Synonyms: rotate (2), alternate (vi 1)
Similar Words: revolve, turn, reciprocate, exchange, interchange,
transfer
Example: She aged visibly as the seasons cycled past.
Definition: 2. to travel by means of a bicycle, motorcycle, or the
like:
Synonyms: bike, bicycle (vi)
Similar Words: roll, coast, ride
Example: The clown cycled across the stage on a unicycle.

sides now splitting.

Someone needs to fire an email off to these people.
