-                       THE ENABLE2K SIGNATURE WORDS
-ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ

-As with the first edition of ENABLE, the ENABLE2K word list contains
-a collection of "signature words", words which one of the compilers
-feels to be a word of particular interest, usefulness or value, yet which
-is not presently recognized as valid by OSPD (r) or MW10.  (See the file
-SIGWORDS.DOC for more discussion of the "signature word" concept.)  The
-original ENABLE had 500 signature words.  For ENABLE2K, we have increased
-the number to 1024.  The original signature words were all (with one
-exception) long words, ineligible for inclusion in OSPD due to their
-length.  Many of the new ENABLE2K signature words, on the other hand, are
-short, and suitable for inclusion in OSPD whenever it is next expanded.
-
-A significant number of the new signature words were taken from the
-ENABLE2K "plural reform" project, which was an attempt to remove invalid
-plurals (such as "trichinosises") from the list, and to identify omitted
-valid plurals (such as "oxymorons").  The plural reform project is
-described in absurd detail in the file PLURALS.DOC in the ENABLE2K
-supplement.  All the new plurals identified by the reform project that
-were explicitly shown by two major American dictionaries were added as
-signature words, as were plurals of short words listed by a single such
-dictionary.  A number of other plurals with less clearcut evidence, but
-which one or both of us feel is certainly valid, have also been added.
-See PLURALS.DOC for information about specific plurals.
-
-ENABLE2K retains almost all the signature words from the original ENABLE.
-The following words were dropped because they are now in the base
-ENABLE2K list:
-
-discontinuation
-discontinuations
-multibillions
-premarketing
-premarketings
-salpiglossises
-
-The following words were dropped because they were included in the
-ENABLE2K "additional MW10 words" list, which contains MW10 words added
-after the preparation of the first version of ENABLE, as well as MW10
-words erroneously omitted from OSPD (see MW10ADD.DOC).
-
-bafflegab
-bafflegabs
-hypermedia
-plasmodesms
-tsimmeses
-tzimmeses
-viewdatas
-violoncellos
-
-Some of these words are plurals implied by MW10, but not explicitly
-listed.
-
-The following words were removed from the signature list because after
-the completion of the "plural reform" project, I was no longer confident
-of their correctness:
-
-panmixises
-spermathecas
-
-(The list continues to contain some plurals in which I have little
-confidence, but since these words were chosen by Mendel, I didn't feel it
-was up to me to remove them.)
-
-One of the points of the original signature word list was to suggest
-words which ought to be more widely recognized.  The appearance of some
-of these words, such as "hypermedia", in the latest edition of MW10 can be
-seen as a vindication of the concept.  The ENABLE2K list contains more
-trendy and thoroughly modern words, such as "intranet", "piercings",
-"rainforest" and "abductee".  Mendel and I will be quite surprised if many
-of these words are not adopted by revisions of MW10 and OSPD as time
-passes.
