How do I use the form?
|
|
|
It's quite simple to submit definitions using the form. In fact, the only requirements of the form are the word and definition fields (wouldn't be much of a submission without them!) The fields are as follows: -
Name - Your name. Leave it blank to remain anomynous.
Email - Your email address. We may contact you if rewording of the definition is necessary. This field is optional.
Category - Choose a category that bests describes the true definition of your word. If in doubt, stick to the General category.
Word - The word that you are defining. This field is mandatory.
Pronounciation - How the word would be pronounced (or broken down) to describe the alternate definition. This field is optional.
Definition - What the alternate meaning of the word is. This field is mandatory.
If you have problems with submission, then please email your definition to the webmaster.

What sort of pun definitions do you accept?
|
|
|
Basically, pretty much the same sort of thing that's already included on the site. These include:-
Popular place names (most landmarks, city and country names should be okay)
Popular food names (fndsajfksdf-flavoured curry would not be accepted)
Popular slang words
Computer terminology (including pronouceable acronyms, e.g. SCSI - scuzzy)
Animals and plants
Proper names of anatomy
Words found in a dictionary

What sort of pun definitions don't you accept?
|
|
|
Basically, pretty much anything that is not in the "accepted" list, including:-
Unknown place names (the village that's two miles outside of your town with a population of 15 people and a goat is not accepted)
Unknown food names
Unknown and/or offensive slang words
Brand names (popular brand names are accepted in the definition, but not the word)
Words that don't exist
People's names (e.g. Timid - Timothy's identification card)
Sentences consisting of more than two words
If you're unsure whether a definition meets the criteria, submit it anyway. The webmaster reserves the right to reject any unsuitable puns that have been submitted. Measures to stop many definitions of the same word will also be considered.

Anything else about the definitions that I should know about?
|
|
|
Yes, a few things, including these: -
To make it seem a bit more like a dictionary (and not like a collection of Christmas cracker jokes), the term "one" may be used when describing about a person. E.g. instead of "His something...", the definition will be reworded to "One's something".
The general rules for redistributing daffy definitions is that anyone is allowed to do it without paying any fees, as long as credit is given to the submitter. This may result in your pun appearing on other publications other than pundefined.com.
Your pun may appear on pundefined.com newsletters/emails in the future.
Advertising may appear at pundefined.com (e.g. banners, paid links, free hosting company needs more money, etc) - just in case you have a problem with sites with advertising on it.

Will you send me lots of junk mail?
|
|
|
Pundefined.com will not send you any junk mail for posting a definition. We may email you if, say, we want to reword your pun slightly. We will only contact you relating to your submission (unless you become a good friend of ours, then the informal gossip email may appear every now and then, but that's different). In fact, in order to keep the size of the web site down, email addresses will be deleted from the database from time to time. Hey, it's not even compulsory to leave an email address! How about that?

Will anyone else send me junk mail?
|
|
|
Due to the free web hosting, it is possible to find the database where the email addresses are stored and download it. However, we have taken the best measure possible (without paying any money) to protect the database, including password protecting it. We should also point out that email addresses will be deleted from the database from time to time. So, to answer your question, there is a chance, but it's a pretty minimal chance of someone finding out your email address. If in doubt, leave it out!

Will you send me information about site updates, etc?
|
|
|
Not unless you email me otherwise. I have plans to start a newsletter - if you want to know when it starts, then let me know and I'll send you feedback on its progress.
