Surprising words not accepted

[Spike1007]

I was surprised today when "it" didn't take PREVENTABLENESS. (I was somewhat more surprised when CONTUMELIOUSNESSES was accepted. I'll have to look that up.)

"It" is the game, the game doesn't accept some words which we, of various countries, languages, professions, vernaculars and proclivities do. Like, for a long time IT would accept HOON, but not HOONS, it might now though...

RELATEDNESSES/ES accepted and IRRELATED accepted, but not IRRELATEDNESS/ES.

Elm is accepted, as a word for a tree...alm is not accepted because you are not allowed to be so cheap as to only give (an) alm for the poor, it has to be alms. There is no singular, only a plural. There is almsgiving, almshouses (homes for the poor). (dont know why, just is).

isn't accepted where? what is this "it" you speak of?

It accepts DOWSE, DOWSER, and DOWSES, but not DOWSERS. Hmm, weird.

I did a search on google. It does show up there as a layer of peat, I think. Could be that it's seen as a foreign word.

I just had CATOTELM rejected! :-(

Looked it up in numerous dictionaries. Could not find it.

ABLENESS not accepted. Huh.

[dementedman]

Now HUTTER was rejected.

[dementedman]

I just had CATOTELM rejected! :-(

[Razorflame]

I have had elm accepted.

Yep, it was ALM that was not accepted, and a recent check of the dictionary sites indicate that it is indeed not a word...which is my bad.

[dannyb]

I have had elm accepted.

[Razorflame]

I'm pretty sure either ALM or ELM isn't accepted (though the plurals of both are).

I am surprised that BAREN, a tool used in printmaking, is not accepted.
