Nice toilet humor! Of course, “eau” is pronounced like a long vowel “o” in French. As for “lieu,” it is pronounced like “lyeu” where ‘y” is a consonant and “eu” sounds a lot like the “oo” in the English word “good.” I don’t know why the French would say “Gardez l’eau !” as that would mean to keep the water, not get rid of it. Unless “gardez” is a shortened form of “regardez”–though that sounds iffy to me.

Capman911, my original idea was to continue with requesting words within the conversation threads, but to flag word requests with a special emoticon. Your idea of an emoticon to click on for bold or underline would be along those lines. PedanticKarl also proposed the use of bold. However, I think sometimes people want to use use bold and underline for other purposes. I am still of the opinion that a special emoticon of some kind that has no other logical purpose would work best. Maybe an emoticon that is not yellow (right now, only Mr. Green stands out from the crowd). On the other hand, an emoticon, however visible to the eye, may not be searchable. My thought is that as the library of words/phrases/games grows, it will become more and more difficult for Marina to scan all the posts for word requests. Maybe someone more technically skilled and more creative than myself will come up with an idea to facilitate Marina’s arduous task of word request tracking.
