OK, what's a Scribent? I've searched several dictionaries with no success. Can anyone enlighten me? |

Sounds like it likely has something to do with writing
This is the closest I could find; and it looks like to me, that your word is a corruption of the Latin. |

Before reading the thread, I figured this would be a game where we created definitions. If I had to, that is what I'd think too: person who writes frequently.

Someone who writes a lot. "scribent" means "writing" in Latin. Thought it'd look nice. If anyone else has better ideas, feel free. The admins can assign a text according to the # of posts. Currently it's: Just moved here 0 (1 pip) Active Member 10 (2 pips) IDU Scribent 30 (3 pips) |

<grammar nazi mode on> But 'scribent' is not correct Latin! Oh no, it should be 'scribens', that means writing! 'scribent-' is the word stem, but... aighaaa... <gramma nazi mode off> Sorry, where was I?

OK, that makes sense. Based on the root bearing a resemblance to "scribe" I had assumed it had something to do with writing, but curiosity got the better of me. |

I did mean to write "(pig) latin", to make it clear that most of the latin I learned at school is now buried deeper than Pompei and Herculaneum.
