When I was very, very young and I learned that words were made up, I decided to make up the word "Supercontinental." I still think it was my greatest invention. I've done a lot since then, and I always try to convince the people I'm working with that we should at least code name what we're doing something like "Project Supercontinental." Nobody has ever liked my favorite word, the only word I ever invented, and, I think, now that I'm getting older, I will never find some project or thing to be called "Supercontinental." And then one day I will die, my favorite word meaning absolutely nothing except that I made it, I loved it, and it was mine. |

FluffieDuckie posted:I like it. May I use it? I've considered a solution like this. The problem is transcontinental covers that. Supercontinental would have been employed during the brief period that shipping lines had the advantage over bus or locomotive lines. It's the one distinguishing features. Perhaps it would have come into parlance during the zeppelin era, but that's a stretch. I could see a zeppelin company go supercontinental... ---------------- |

Supercontinental Byobway. I'm not sure. You can certainly use it. Please do. I'd like my word, the only word I ever made, to serve some purpose, to have some... meaning And not in just the abstract, academic sense... I want it to maybe, some day, be adjacent to perhaps vernacular ---------------- |
