“Ginormous” is a real word now! I dunno, I kind of liked it when it was fake.

Man, “ginormous” totally sold out.

They spelt it wrong.

Also what happens if I comment to the stream instead of here. Do you ever see it?

P-C, yeah, totally. What’s the good of being an English speaker if you can’t have fake words?

Tineke, how do you spell it? Gi-gantic + e-normous = ginormous. And I have no idea. Why don’t you try it and I’ll let you know? My guess is I wouldn’t know unless I checked all the time, because I don’t think LJ would know how to notify me.
