I'm tempted to add a suggestion that WOTD nominations should be words that are commonly used in English. While we define words in any language using English, I don't know that we need to propose foreign words (as distinct from words that have been borrowed and added English). The English language is large enough that we'll never run out of words that are commonly used. RJFJR 12:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
- Technical words may be considered if they have additional meanings beyond the technical one. Also, technical terms pertaining to language and writing may be considered, since this is an on-line dictionary (e.g. synecdoche, elision, ogonek).
- An obsolete word could be selected if it has an entry which includes sufficient quotations from standard English literature to demonstarte that the word will be enountered in reading.
- Closely related words to recent WOTD selections will be passed over (to promote variety).
- No abbreviations or initialisms or symbols
