These examples are all BOTH
Anagrams and Lexigrams

Diplomacy=Mad policy
Moonlight=Thin gloom
Weird nightmares=Withering dreams
Armageddon=Mad god near
Democratic=Rated Comic
Armageddon=Mad god near

These examples are all Lexigrams
but NOT Anagrams

South=So hot
North=Not hot
Violent=No love
HMS Pinafore=A name of ship
The South Sea Islands=A thousand islets shine
Republican=Incurable clan
Postage=post to pages
Murder=Red drum

Repeating my earlier post to clarify points better.
To continue with Linda's own words on the matter of "her personal rules and truths", which many have taken to heart as Linda's way is the only way!
That is NOT what Linda said, nor wanted us to do!

I thought your survey was interesting, I'de never seen it before. Hopefully, you're still wondering folks' thoughts on these things.

1. Yes, many times.
2. I believe so, to the best of my capabilities at the time of reading it.
3. Yes, I believe in them, not sure what you are referring to when you ask if one understands what she wrote about them, she wrote more than one thing about them.
4. Not sure.
5. No
6. Not sure.
7. I feel she may have made the errors on purpose or accidently in her excitement to make a point.
8. I hate it.
9. Hmmm, I don't think a word can "not want to be lexigrammed," because I think all mysteries are here to be solved. As far as it not being able to be lexigrammed, maybe, because some words don't make other words, or at least words that most folks are familiar with.
10. No, and No.
11. Only as an example, but not as in real people.
12. I don't see why that would be?
13. I believe a fetus is not alive in the sense that it cannot sustain life outside the womb, but I believe it does have a soul. I used to NOT believe that until my stillborn son came to me and my daughter in dreams, so either he HAD a soul when he was stillborn, or he acquired one after, not so sure there.
14. Yes.
15. Not off the top of my head, but I have read what you wrote about it's history, I just cannot quote it at this time.
16. Yes.
17. Yes.
18. I've noticed that, and it was quite a relief. I've also noticed this with the word "Rape." Probably other words that I can't think of at the moment.

GW. I've noticed that, and it was quite a relief. I've also noticed
this with the word "Rape." Probably other words that I can't think of at the moment.

I messed up my neck/shoulder/arm today and typing is painful so I'm sorry if I sound curt or rude. Trying to be concise.

Wanted to say that on your last post before mine, number 18 popped out at me. I read a study or poll somewhere a while back that said that the overwhelming majority of people admit to lying on a regular basis. White lies. And those seem to be seen as positive by most people (sorry to be the one to disagree on that but to each their own) so in the end it's just a matter of perspective. Also, I think sometimes people self-identify with the negative interpretation of words when they already fear those things about their personality or have been feeling insecure due to others in their lives who may be negative towards them.

10. accuracy, as of position or adjustment.

Hope your shoulder/arm feel better soon.
Part of my disability is a messed up always painful shoulder/arm/hand, and so typing for me is always uncomfortable and or painful, and must type one fingered to boot. Some days typing is just too difficult.
So I sympathize with your pain.
Be well

1.Use any and or all the letters you have available in the frequency available within the name,
phrase, date, whatever your "source" that you are Lexigramming.
2. Do not remove any letters you do have, both consonants and vowels.
You have them, use them!
3.Do not ever add any consonants and vowels you do not have.
4. Length of name or phrase, not a problem.
You will never get even close to all the words in a dictionary.
5. Only use consonants and vowels in the frequency found within your source you are Lexigramming.
Example:
Mary Alice Kemery
AA C EEE I L MM RR YY
As you can see, any words can have those letters, but only in those amounts.
6. Lexigramming is not for the English language only.
7. The magic begins for the most part once you have your words, no matter how you acquired them.
8. Correct spelling is important. No Phoentics.
Later I will cover poeticisms and archaisms which are sometimes allowed.
Transliteration of non English names to spell them is permissible however
if the alphabet is not the Latin one.
9. With a few rare exceptions, acronyms, abbreviations and contractions are to be avoided,
unless you can actually spell out the full form.
For example; one could have H.I.V. or A.I.D.S. within their name letters,
but unless the full phrase indicated by the acronym can be found within the names
or phrase being Lexigrammed, it does not have the same significance as having the full spelling, which the acronym only represents.
10. Generally no slang if it is an adulteration of an actual word.
Such as substituting LUV for LOVE, unless you can actually fine LOVE
withinn the name or phrase you are Lexigramming.
11. No cheating and using homophones in lieu of a word one wants to be there.
Example:
RITE and RIGHT, THREW and THROUGH, are not the same word and are not interchangeable.

Those are the basics.
It gets more complicated when doing RELATIONSHIP, UNIONS, or COMPATIBILITY Lexigrams.

as for the survey:

1. Have you read Star Signs?
yes

2. Have you thoroughly "studied" it?
most of it, yes

3. A., Do you believe in word druids and B., do you understand what she wrote about them?
Not sure; yes.

4. Do you agree or disagree with her alternate history of language and writing that radically clashes with scholarly research, archaeology, and so forth?
I have not drawn any conclusions yet, as all history is constantly being revised and is always open to interpretation.

5. Do you agree with the vowel rule?
I agree that it helps put a boundary on lexigramming. However, I don't actually agree with it. I just believe it's a sensible rule to follow if one wants to come up with something very unique and understandable to the lexigram. To some the challenge of overriding the vowel "rue" may result in the most personally fulfilling lexigram experience.

6. Do you agree with the letter count rule?
absolutely.

7. How do you feel about her Lexigramming errors in her "lexigrams"? Such as the word NATION in the Lincoln Lexigram, and not allowed words in some others?
I feel that we all are subject to making mistakes, especially when one really wants to come up with a certain message, even if it does not technically exist in the lexigram.

8. A., How do feel about being told a name, or that your name is not a good name to have? And B., that you should change it?
I do not think it is right to pass judgment on a name, whether it is right or wrong. One word can have a thousand meanings.

9. How do you feel about a name, or your name A., not "wanting" to be lexigrammed or that B., it cannot be Lexigrammed?
This is rather silly.

10. Do you believe that A., English is the world's oldest language? And B., that ALL languages came from it?
I do not presume to accept this, as I have no way of proving it.

11. Do you believe in Adam and Eve?
In a sense, yes.

12. Do you believe that Lexigramming only works in English?
No.

13. A., Do you believe a foetus or unborn child is not alive? B., that basically it is soulless until born?
I don't know. I wouldn't want to take the chance of presuming it, though.

14. Do you believe words have actual souls and are beings?
No, but I suppose anything is possible. Words truly can take on a life of their own though!

15. Are you aware of how long Anagramming has been around?
No, but I would think it has been around as long as written language as been around.

16. Are you aware of the fact that anagrams are a simple form of a Lexigram?
yes

17. Did you know that an anagram is also a Lexigram, but a Lexigram is not always an anagram?
No

18. Did you know that the word "lie" is an extremely common word and is found in a high percentage of names?
No, but I am not surprised in the least.

Thank you for your help and attention, LEXX. I hope that you will be able to answer my question about the rules concerning RELATIONSHIPS, UNIONS, and COMPATIBILITY lexigrams. Light and Love!

posted September 02, 2010 01:42 AM            

let me start by saying i am utterly fascinated by those who are gifted lexigrammers!! LEXX, you are amazing...

having read many of your posts, including those when you ( and i ) had different names, i find that quite often we are in agreement... you are absolutely correct - many worship the messenger and forget the message or take the message as the ONLY way... to each their own...

as to the rules for lexigramming - i always assumed ( perhaps in error ) that Linda was providing guidelines to get started until such a time that one was experienced enough to grow beyond...
for someone like myself, who has little experience, it can be very overwhelming to sift through all the possibilities using just intuition... perhaps, by limiting those possibilites through her "rules" Linda was making it easier for some of us to not be intimidated by the process.

the only point that i will "disagree" with you about -> the errors or liberties...
as someone else suggested, i think it's possible that certain ideas or words present themselves while one is in the moment... if it provides understanding and clarity i do not see the harm ( not the best the word choice )

On another note:
one may acquire their words by using a list.
Linda never said anything about that being wrong. In fact she pretty much said, once you have your words in front of you, that you can begin.(yes, not a direct quote, will find it later).
One's intuition can then intuit the right words to choose/use, without accidentally inserting words not there.

your insights challenge me to dig deeper within me... thank you!

quote:

---

I find her rules confusing and limited in a confusing way.

---

is the due to your having long term experience with lexigramming? if i may be so bold as to ask how you started, did someone teach you?

quote:

---

You have the letters, use any and all.
You do not have some, do not add any you do not have.
Or simpler yet.....have fun! Simply do not add or remove any letters.

---

...this makes perfect sense to me, and also seems to be intune with Linda... am i in error here?

quote:

---

Another was her Lincoln one...
"NATION" is not in his name, and therefore the meaning was radically altered.
(if she had used President as part of his name, yes, then he would have NATION)

---

quote:

---

...and has been forced to say what was desired but was not actually there and so therefore is untrue/invalid.

---

quote:

---

However any added words or words created by letters not to be found in the source, can change the resulting meanings, sometimes far too much.

---

i agree with this completely!!! how many lexi's have i read that are a disorganized mess with no clarity or understanding to be found simply because TOO many liberties were taken...
perhaps this is the real reason behind Linda's rules - even if she herself bent it on a regular basis... more stringent rules =
less "enlightened" people trying or succeeding which does no harm... this, however, has it own consequences doesn't it?

quote:

---

Any time a letter or word not found within the source, is added, the resulting creation in all sincerity, logically and very clearly, then the hard fact is that it is simply NOT an actual Lexigram.

---

so, is it ever okay to do this as long as there is an acknowledgement that the result is not a true to form lexigram? is it still possible to glean pertinent, valid information?

you have inspired me to try my hand at a simple lexigram using your rules... operative word "simple"

as to who i was before...
no, not a secret at all but no one you would actually remember as i only ever posted a handful of times - i preferred to "lurk" and learn... when things here became too chaotic and negative i didn't even "lurk" that much...
took some time before deciding to re-register

things seem....better...less angry

either way, my name then was sweetsuccubus

posted September 02, 2010 03:34 PM            

is it possible that many here really believe that Linda "invented" Lexigramming and this is why they adamantly follow her rules? or the belief that she "perfected" it in some way?

Thank you muchly Archaea
There are sadly many so called professions out there spewing out and even charging folks for creations so error laden, that they are not n truth actual Lexigrams.
And I have even contacted them about their errors and offered to help, but they are in it for the money and to heck with any ethics.

My name has one letter which can be understood only in my language. But no one could lexigram it, that's the problem

So would it change MUCH if i replaced the letter ė (my language letter) with an e?
