When comparing apple with apples, limiting the lexicon expansion only to words of 2-to-9 letters length (which was the OWL2 mainstay), OWL2 grew by 5,589 words (Cesar informed me). Which means only 3,352 words of 10-15 letters length were added. Please help me out here. I went to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Tournament_and_Club_Word_List And it shows about 65,000 *presently* allowable words of 10-15 leters length. OWL2 never listed 10-15s, save for inflections of shorter words. Now that OWL3 is purportedly including ALL the 10-15s, why is that lexicon growing by only 3,352? Did OWL2 already contain the other 62,000 inflected words? I dont think so. Okay, I concede to not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I think a quote from the philosopher Elmer Fudd is in order: Deres sumfin awfwy sqwooey gowin on awound here, heh heh heh heh heh. --Mike Baron
