Should we mention the Stone Roses song, I Wanna Be a Dord? —Ashley Y 01:27, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
I hope this doesn't mean this entry will be deleted from Wikipedia. PedanticallySpeaking 18:52, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Accident?
Are we sure that it was accidentally inserted in the dictionary? There is wide speculation that some publishers actually include "nihilartikel" in their dictionaries to see if the word catches on. - Che Nuevara: Join the Revolution 22:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- We have no source that suggests otherwise.--Prosfilaes 20:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- The editor of the dictionary published an account in a linguistic journal detailing how it was inadvertantly printed in the dictionary. This is cited in the article's page. PedanticallySpeaking 15:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How long was it printed?
I ask because all references imply it was only there for about five years...yet, my 1943 printing still contains the word - that's nine years minimum... I'm thinking this page should mention that more specifically. Crizzly (talk) 10:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I have a copy of W2 dated 1947 in which the dord entry is still present 91.105.46.183 (talk) 15:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] How long do you think until this word will get into actual usage?
I give it 50 years. SmroWofnaC (talk) 16:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, it is shorter than "density", just one syllable as opposed to three. We're all linguistically lazy, always shortening and abbreviating words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.67.197 (talk) 03:16, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Do we really need this citation?

Doesn't really seem relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billiam1185 (talk • contribs) 20:46, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
