We'll review it against the ten rules. If it passes, it goes in — with your name on it.

1. 01. Only single words are accepted.
2. 02. The word must offer the opportunity to become what it says. In reality or just metaphorically.
3. 03. Positive, optimistic words are wished for. The meaning can be negative; the message depends on the individual.
4. 04. Words that mark racial, national or religious communities will not be accepted.
5. 05. Only numbers that can be written in one word are accepted.
6. 06. Words that might insult any group of people will not be accepted.
7. 07. Compound words only as exceptions — they narrow the associative field.
8. 08. Only English words for the time being.
9. 09. Local slang words can be accepted if popular enough and the submitter explains the word.
10. 10. Personal names only as exceptions: well-known cultural, sports or science icons, with a written description. No politicians.
