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!!! -- fluffinator007 - Expert UPD'ist My image was voted out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fluffinator007's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4757 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31026 |

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.

Unicycling - Not a word?
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.
