Ah, but scotty has specified the OED as the arbiter in this game.  Let's hope it wasn't just the Pocket OED!  | |
|
| Well I've just looked at that and it backs up what I said earlier. | |
|
| What a joke this thread is.
Shakes head....almost laughs.
Then does so. | |

No. Splurt is listed as a verb in the OED*, and therefore Splurts is correct as the 3rd person singular.
*Shorter (two volume) Oxford English Dictionary in book form.
Third person singular?
"Stripey splurts his food all over his monitor at Scotty questioning the word "Splurts" on Itsagoal.
Even google auto correct cant save that!
No just no!  | |

No just no! Stripey is right.
Furthermore, a 7 yr old could tell you that 'Splurts' is a genuine word. | |

| If we could have a list of suggestions for which FREE online search tool people would like to use, then we can vote.
Whittle, it down to 3 and have a final vote, and then that one that is finally chosen *insert mystical legendary music*
SHALL BE THE ONE!!
So give suggestions (Not the Urban dictionary) and then we can take it from there, ok?

First page on google will predominantly show the most reputable dictionaries.
If it's there, it stands. Stops the nonsense surrounding the OED. | |

Nothing wrong with scotty's OED link. No idea why you've got such a beef about the OED, LM, | |

Ok thats settled then.
Everyone take a look at my profile, bookmark that link.
If its not in that dictionary, THEN ITS NOT ALLOWED!
If someone puts a word in, and you see its not in the dictionary on my profile that you now have bookmarked, go back to the previous word and continue.
Ok sorted.
