Do you people keep track of the words that have been used?

Edit: I seem to remember an earlier post discussing this. (Trying to assess your geek-level here. What I'm "up against" :)

I don't, but I use a spreadsheet to facilitate my searches. Does that elevate me to geekhood?

I only use my mind to remember, a dictionary that makes suggestions in case of spelling errors. So I type in phantasy words to retrieve suggestions. But it only works well if the first three letters are known. And then I use

for the statistics.

No, I do not.

I do this sometimes. I did in this puzzle (#658) because the "Axy_x, Bxy_x, Cxy_x,... " just wasn't working for me.

<- another word that was not in my list.

Luckily it's one I'm familiar with.

Ok. So I'm definitely out of both my comfort zone and my league. "Regression Calculator" indeed! I dunno where to rate you on the "geek scale. What even are the units? With evil it's "kilonazis", with beauty it's "milli-Helen" (after Helen Of Troy), what's the worlds biggest geek?

Some candidates are

Carl Friedrich Gauss
Leonhard Euler
Nikola Tesla

I guess Magnus Carlsen qualifies too.
Both mili-Gauss and milli-Tesla has a certain ring to them, although Tesla is already used for strength of magnet fields no?

Incidentally, I have a friend (lets call him Carl) who's always really intoxicated. So I joke that intoxication should be measured in Carls. He can reach one full Carl. I could maybe reach 200 milli-Carls.

It really annoys him. :)

Well who isn't. Another military code is Mike Charlie Foxtrot for "massive clusterf.ck". :)

But well played.

I'm afraid so. I think using a spreadsheet for playing wordgames qualifies. :P

Had you been using PLSQL you would've been off the scale completely. I would have named it after you :)

Spoiler

A word I've never encountered before. I needed internet assistance to find it.

I didn't know what PLSQL was until I googled it so I guess I'm safe.

Me too, on both counts. I was surprised to see it in Merriam-Webster's dictionary.

I definitely underperformed.

Well as I'm not a native speaker, yes. Yes you did. ;)

But a little luck sometimes goes a long way.

BTW when talking about luck here I meant of course that I got lucky. Not you. Just wanted that to be crystal clear! :)

I may be playing a little smart but I'm not out to offend.
