The Avid Reader (and enjoyer of all subjects)

This is the FACTORY FOR NEOLOGISTS. 

Directions:

General

Following the example, create a word (not in the dictionary) based on prefixes and suffixes you already know, or on words already in the common English language.  Be inventive!  All appropriate and approved words will go in the word gallery.  You can also make sentences containing previously created words.

Approved and Unapproved Words

I will generally accept all words that are used correctly and contain/have no derogatory language. 

Approved and Unapproved Sentences

I will generally accept all sentences that use the word correctly and contain/have no derogatory language.

Code Names

You can also choose a code name.  (For example, my code name is theavidprofessor.)  Your code name doesn’t have to be your actual name or your edublogs username.

Rankings

You will be ranked by level depending on how many approved words you create.  After you finish Level V, you can choose to continue, retire, or become a Class II Administrator (advisors of Class I Administrators).  Unfortunately, no one can become a Class I Administrator (boss of all Class II Administrators and administrator of this whole page).  If you don’t want to make any more words, you can quit any time.  From there, you can choose to erase all your accomplishments or keep them.

If you choose to make sentences as well as make new words, there will be three levels.  After that, you can choose to continue, retire, or become a Class II Administrator.
