Only one hell?Originally Posted by Akaria
I saw a Kikkoman's soy sauce commercial a couple days ago that was playing on the word. Apparently they came up with it last year. I can't find a single article dated before 2007 which uses the word.
Yeah. It's fairly new. Unlike grey and okay, which have been around longer than the internet. There's no excuse for them not to be in the Firefox dictionary.
Yeah, only one hell. It wasn't that bad of a conversation. Before it went down the pooper, I mean, of course.
The soy sauce commercial's been around for a while. It's the only reference I've heard to umami outside of Japanese class. As for something like grey/gray or okay/OK, I think it depends on the person's personal preference for spelling things. Like, I prefer gray and okay, for example. Doesn't mean grey and OK are wrong; grey is just an alternate spelling for gray that people have learned to recognize and accept as just that, and OK is an abbreviation.
Not saying they "shouldn't" be in there necessarily, but I can understand both sides of the argument. Still, for me, umami deserves to be in Firefox's dictionary.

Grey and gray are both correct spellings of the word. You're right about that one, but OK is not a valid word. If it were, it would be pronounced, "ock." OK is just to lazy typists as K-9 is to the police when they want to name their dogs something, in their opinions, cool. It's not a word, but rather a really weird abbreviation.
If you're going to make OK a word, it begins a slippery slope where, somewhere along the way, okie dokie becomes a word.
According to Firefox it's already a word, so it looks like that slippery slope has begun!
Actually, just found this:
The Straight Dope: What does "OK" stand for?
It basically says that one theory of where OK comes from stands for "oll korrect ... the result of a fad for comical abbreviations that flourished in the late 1830s and 1840s." There's a bunch of different stuff on there to explain it.
Actually, I kinda want "okie dokie" to become a real word/term. "Alrighty", too. Then people can't make fun of me when I say them
