Thank you. I was just telling my friend about this and she insisted this happens every few years. That didn’t seem likely, and your comment helped us figure out that we’d actually talked about this years ago :)

He just memorized all ~200k valid words in the OSD." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18689565 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18689565
