Good news ever-e-body

The thousand sided dice will be on line sometime today or tomorrow. As my brother and I did the data review we removed some prefixes and suffixes and added some.  In the quarter century since the project was inaugurated, the biggest reason words got removed was for reasons of pc.  For example, one of the words that got removed was voodoo.  Voudun is a global religion even if it is centered on the Caribbean, and I can’t hack using religious slurs as part of the project.  That thought ___did not occur___ when I entered the word in the first rounds of data entry.  Other words came out because they were gendered slurs, or because the word use had shifted enough to give both me and Jeff the squick.  Jeff deferred to me in the removals, although we had some DANDY discussions on a variety of subjects. He ran tech and entry, I ran the simulsearch.  I think we took out less than ten on both sides, so I guess out of two thousand I was doing okay.  It stuns me how much English has changed in the last 25 years.  A project like this really brings it home.  http://ksided-dice.com is the link, no it’s not up yet.  ‘citing times!  Big hugs to Jeff for all the coding!  I may have had the idea, but it would be air without him.  PS the original code from the dawn of time with the data files is available, but you don’t want it; as an artefact of processing speed improvements it screeches when you roll the dice.  Like a haruspex.  AiiiEEEE!
