Being a list-in-progress of my solutions to problems and questions that have cropped up.  Resistance is futile.

1. A maximum of one exclamation point per sentence is allowed.  Wait, make that per paragraph.  The excess will be converted into periods.  Choose wisely.

2. No smileys.  Ever. 

3. No excess vowels for effect ("coool"). 

4. Entries written entirely in lower case will be ignored.  You are not Archie and I am not Mehitabel.

5.  Entries written in "l33t" tripe ("d00dz," etc.) will be ignored.

6. Tautological entries ("It's my favorite because I like it best") will be ignored until you can spare a moment to tell us why, which is, after all, the point of all this.

7. Please don't tell us about words you dislike.  Words-I-Hate.com is probably available.

8. Punctuation and grammar will be corrected (if I notice) unless you seem to be striving for an effect, in which case I will throw up my hands and post it.  If my inattention inadvertently maligns your literacy, let me know and I'll fix it.

9. Management reserves the right to limit submissions to a single word per person, to post multiple submissions from one person if they're good, or not to post any submission deemed un-good.  That's why we're called management.
