Discussion
This is the space for discussion. Discussions will be archived after nominations and votes have ended, so that this page says clean. Please sign your posts here, and indent appropriately!

Nominations for English are OPENED :) also, hereby I nominate:
 * foreign — even though it often means "non-English" on the internet and in English countries, English is actually foreign to me and to many of our members too; I think it'd match what we are
 * sunset — besides a sunset being beautiful, I love the sound of this word, which in 6 letters captures the brief (colorful!) period of time between the bright blue of the day sky and the star-covered dark blue night sky

How about a big word?
 * schtroumpfed - a real English word (books uses it), translated from French -- Smurf. It has one syllable, comes from French and you can use it anywhere. 00:04, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

I'm nominating Elseweyr [ talk | stalk ] February 25, 2014, 12:33:15 (UTC)
 * aware – I like the look of the word, and the notion it carries.
 * flappy – a funny and topical word which sounds like the action it describes.
