Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 08, 2010 09:34 PM YES...BY LINDA'S METHOD AND RULES as you know... YOUR NAME DOES HAVE TOO MANY VOWELS AND DOES NOT WANT TO BE LEXIGRAMMED! quote: If your name has all the vowels?? Does that mean your name doesn't want to be lexigrammed? When doing mine it's like almost all the words one can find in the dictionary. OK.... Contrary to the popular erroneous concepts.... 1. There is NOT A PROBLEM when HAVING ALL THE VOWELS! ABSOLUTELY NOT AN ISSUE! 2. There is NO SUCH THING AS A NAME... ANY NAME... NOT "WANTING" TO BE LEXIGRAMMED! ANY NAME CAN BE LEXIGRAMMED! 3. NO NAME CAN HAVE quote: almost all the words one can find in the dictionary THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! So, where would you like to go from here? What is your full birth name for starters and the full name you go by now? Or would you like examples showing how having all the vowels is simply having all the vowels, nothing more? Feel free to ask any questions! NOTE: To those who may be inclined to take offense at my reply to charmainec, please take a deep breath and read my brief bio about my Lexigramming experience and posts about Linda's way and mine and so forth. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001895.html After nearly 50 years, or 1/2 a century, to date, of Lexigramming experience, I do know what I am doing.

Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 09, 2010 01:58 AM Yes...I can understand why LG came up with a limited/simple version of lexigramming. But I want thoroughness and accuracy. My name exceeds LG's rules. Dates exceed LG's rules often. Doing a person's FULL name, with their FULL date of birth yeilds often very interesting and revealing things about them! The date of "September Eleventh Two Thousand One" is so amazingly accurate when lexigrammed it is downright spooky! september eleventh two thousand one: AEEEEEEEOOOU BDHHLMNNNPRSSTTTTVW Also word counts even in the thousands do not always supply words to easily create a lexigram. The number of connecting words is a big factor when it comes to creating a lexigram. Such words as, I, me, it, the, us, am, and, the, an, for, to, of, as. in, on, not, has, is, was,.....etcetera. Number of Words in the English Language"The OED2, the largest English-language dictionary, contains some 290000 entries with some 616500 word forms." 616500 words ... I have lexigrammed thousands of names and phrases and dates. I have NEVER gotten nearly all the words in the English language. Even doing the ENTIRE alphabet will not get anything close to that. Most folk's names only have a few hundred to under a few thousand words. Some only have a 100 or less. That is far from ALL the words. And while many are not easily used or useful in a lexigram, it is fasinating to discover one has such words(as one person I did who had 4 names!) paradisiacal,abstemious,verisimilitudes! It is also fun to see what names are in ones name. As to gettting most any/every word in the dictionary; as I said, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! quote: Number of Words in the English Language "The statistics of English are astonishing. Of all the world's languages (which now number some 2,700), it is arguably the richest in vocabulary. The compendious Oxford English Dictionary lists about 500,000 words; and a further half-million technical and scientific terms remain uncatalogued. According to traditional estimates, neighboring German has a vocabulary of about 185,000 and French fewer than 100,000, including such Franglais as le snacque-barre and le hit-parade." 500,000 words 1,000,000 words (including scientific words) Encyclopedia Americana, Volume 10. Grolier, 1999. "The vocabulary has grown from the 50,000 to 60,000 words in Old English to the tremendous number of entries -- 650,000 to 750,000 -- in an unabridged dictionary of today." 650 - 750,000 words Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition, Volume 1. Oxford University Press, 1989. "In addition to the headwords of main entries, the Dictionary contains 157,000 combinations and derivatives in bold type, and 169,000 phrases and combinations in bold italic type, making a total of 616,500 word-forms." 616,500 words Webster's Third New International Dictionary. G&C Merriam Co., 1971. "This dictionary has a vocabulary of over 450,000 words." > 450,000 words Wilton, David. How Many Words Are There In The English Language? Wilton's Word & Phrase Origins. 7 February 2001. "The OED2, the largest English-language dictionary, contains some 290,000 entries with some 616,500 word forms." 616,500 words Have you ever encountered a person who just keeps on rambling on and on with no end in sight. If you have, you might have wondered if he/she would ever run out of words to say. Unfortunately, that will remain a dream for all of us. As we enter the Twenty First Century, English is the most widely spoken and written language on Earth. English was first spoken in Britain by Germanic tribes in Fifth Century AD also known as the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) period. During the Middle English period (1150-1500 AD), a lot of the Old English word endings were replaced by prepositions like by, with, and from. We are now in the Modern English period which started in the Sixteenth Century. The number of words in English has grown from 50,000 to 60,000 words in Old English to about a million today. There are a number of ways in which the English vocabulary increases. The principal way in which it grows is by borrowing words from other languages. About 80% of the entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin. Another way is by combining words into one word such as housewife, greenhouse, and overdue. The addition of prefixes and suffixes to words also increases the immense vocabulary of the English language. Today, more than 750 million people use the English language. An average educated person knows about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 words in a week. Despite its widespread use, there are only about 350 million people who use it as their mother tongue. It is the official language of the Olympics. More than half of the world's technical and scientific periodicals as well three quarters of the world's mail, and its telexes and cables are in English. About 80% of the information stored in the world's computers (such as this text) are also in English. English is also transmitted to more than 100 million people everyday by 5 of the largest broadcasting companies (CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, CBC). It seems like English will remain the most widely used language for some time. Johnny Ling -- 2001 ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student...

LEXX Knowflake Posts: 9742 From: Still out looking for Schrodinger's cat.......& LEXIGRAMMING.♥.. is my Passion! Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 09, 2010 10:39 AM LOL! I surmised you were but for folks new to Lexigramming, your statements would confuse them. No offense intended, but I have been trying to spread the word to dispel such ideas, and so I had to clarify for folks that those things are untrue. I mean no offense to Linda, but she was wrong about Lexigramming on some serious points. She simply had not figured that out for herself. I have known too many folks who were interested in Lexigramming, sadly go just give up based on those fallacies. Same for it being only in English. Untrue. If that offends, I am sorry, but facts are facts, and I do not want to see folks confused or giving up because they were told their name has too many letters, and or does not want to be Lexigrammed, and or is an unsuitable name in any way shape or form. That is unkind and simply untrue of any name. ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> .☆ЈЏ`♥ И.☆ЈЏ`♥ И.☆ЈЏ`♥ IP: Logged

I hope you can try to see where I am coming from. It is not only because it is one of my long time serious passions, but because by having nearly 50 years experience with doing them to date, and having done them long before Linda (as my bio posts illustrate).... and having done them longer since she found out about them. They have been around basically as long as writing has. Just trying to clarify so folks know that ANY NAME CAN BE LEXIGRAMMED! ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student...

charmainec Moderator Posts: 5589 From: Venus next to Randall Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 10, 2010 01:39 AM I was serious when I asked the question and you answered.I did thank you so there's no need to try and read anything else into it.You explained that one can lexigram even though there are all the vowels so now I know one does not need to be limited ------------------ quote: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson IP: Logged

Registered: Apr 2009	posted May 10, 2010 09:43 AM My deepest apologies charmainec I took you literally when you asked the question: quote: If your name has all the vowels?? Does that mean your name doesn't want to be lexigrammed? and made the statement. quote: When doing mine it's like almost all the words one can find in the dictionary. At first it appeared you were asking an odd question... but then when you said this: quote: and yes I was following Linda's method. I became confused because when you follow Linda's method, as you indeed say you did/do..... well I could not help but wonder if I was being toyed with because by following Linda's method....you knew her rules, as your topic header did indicate and already had your answers... and by that token there was no need or valid reasons to post the questions or stastement. Can you see why it appeared odd and strange to me? (again, because many have toyed with me about my Lexigramming in the past here at LL, quoting Linda and asking such questions not to learn but to bait me) However it seems that we have simply had a misunderstanding? There is no stupid question and my caps are NOT for yelling, but for clarity and emphasis here! I have posted so much about this that I want to be clear so as to not keep repeating myself. OK.... So is this I ask below... what you had intended to convey?♥ That you follow Linda's method but that your name cannot be Lexigrammed under her method, and as LINDA said, has too many vowels, as LINDA said, and gets too many words, as LINDA said. And does not want Lexigrammed as LINDA said. *That you wanted to know if any other method would lift the limits and allow you to Lexigram your name?♥ ♥ ♥* So...is that the point you were trying to make?????????? It was not worded by you as to to make that clear, but was that what you wanted to know? And again, my apologies...I was not yelling but trying to be clear.♥ And I did answer your questions and did explain how it can be confusing and depressing to newbies to Lexigramming, to be told their name is unsuitable in several ways, and cannot be Lexigrammed. (via Linda's method) Can you see why I took it as I did until you explained to me elsewhere? OK...now can we start over? PS. If I have in any way accidentally offend again..I apologize. My head hurts, not thinking clear, tooth and ear are hurting and I am going back to bed with hot packs. ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student...

You might find this site useful for getting words in Spanish which can be found in your name. It does not always work however. Limits change from 0 to 30 letters. However, when it works, it can be a helpful tool for newbies to Lexigramming and or folks wanting to or requiring languages other than English. http://wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html Choose from the menu: 1.

Maximum number of words in each anagram: Anagrams must include this word: Anagrams must exclude these words: Minimum number of letters in each word: Maximum number of letters in each word: 4. Then if going only for a Lexigram word list, chose: Show candidate word list only and check yes) 5. If wanting anagrams (most are silly or awful here...not recommended in my opinion) then choose yes or no for each choice. Repeat occurrences of a word OK: Yes No ( this is for a Lexigram list only, but they just call it anagram) Show candidate word list only: Yes No Show line numbers with anagrams: Yes No (the following is for any feature of this site.)

I am quite embarrassed. Except for terribly rudimentary Latin, I do not know any language but English. However betwixt translators and dictionaries I am able to do some Lexigramming in other languages as I have done here a little at LL, inserting non English words into Lexigrams. Without understanding the grammar of non English languages, I am unable to create sentences or phrases. However finding non English words is still a lot of work, if not in a language featured on a generator. It usually involves the extremely time intensive task of consulting a non English dictionary and then meticulously going through the dictionaries one word at a time to see if it is in the name I am Lexigramming. Then using translators to make sure it is a word useful when Lexigramming and not an obscenity. One must do that even when using a generated list (in any language they do not know) just to know what the words mean. These processes work, but take a very long time and much study. ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> .☆ЈЏ`♥ И.☆ЈЏ`♥ И.☆ЈЏ`♥ IP: Logged
