1 Intro
There are two parts to any language, grammar and a lexicon. The lexicon is a collection of words. Grammar provides the rules of how they're stuck together.
Over the years here in All n One we have created some new additions to the English lexicon:
2 Lexicon
| Word | Meaning | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Gramalocially | "That sentence was gramalocially incorrect", i.e. the grammar and logic were both incorrect. Can be heavily applied to computer programming. | PJ |
| Automagically | Without getting into the technical details of something, you press a button and it will happen automatically, but due to a lack of technical understanding will appear like magic. | PL |
