Strange. I knew it could be used in the sense of example 2 and 3 up there, but not 1. So now I know!

Such is the wisdom of dictionary.com, I guess. I heatily approve of your Wish icon, by the bye.

As far as I know, no; there are seven of us maintaining the word a day (although five seem to have dropped off the face of the earth), but if you want to share a word, you can PM it to any of us, I guess. nerdfury or I would be your best bet at the moment, though. =)

I'm not aware of submissions being made other than by contributors, but our owner, moderators and posters all seem to have dropped off of the face of the community.

If you have any words and would like to be a regular poster, you're more than welcome to write up a full submission, PM or email it to me and I can post it on your behalf on any given day.
