COMMENTS:

When I first looked at the word in the list, I read it as loveanddatErelationship and was e-xpecting a sentence about those datE-matching websites! When I clicked on your word and read the sentence, I took a second and better look at the word. Finally saw it was datA not datE in the middle! My eyes and mind need e-mprovement! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-21: 13:56:00

Using a computer brings out the eccentricities in all of us! V nice word! - bananabender, 2008-01-30: 18:27:00

I'm sure glad you put the etymology cause this dummy thought it was a typo and was a combo with zygotes in it ... more laughter ... at my ignorance. Kudos, to all who use the uncommon, for I am learning new words from you along with the verboticisms. - silveryaspen, 2008-01-30: 19:39:00

Pronunciation: Comp-you-love

Sentence: Julie has a strong compulove for her HP. She has had it years. Im suprised her PC has put up with her constantly shouting at it and hitting it. Poor PC. But it must be love, because it always switches on!!

Etymology: This is a mix between computer and compulsive and love. Computer being just a computer (laptop or desktop) and compulsive as in "you must do it" "you must have it" etc.. and love as in strong feelings of romance and passion etc.

Pronunciation: əˈclik shən

Sentence: PeeCee has a serious aclikshun. As much as she hates it, she just can't separate herself from her computer. She has given up eating breakfast to play some silly little online word game every morning. She was so aclikted that she has lost the ability to talk to anybody face-to-face. She tried to sign up for a computer-aclikshun class but couldn't get her calendar program to work correctly. Last weekend, while having dinner with her kids, Doc and Giffer, she placed her order by e-mail. Thank goodness for Wi-Fi. She had trouble accepting her divorce from Mac until he sent the papers to her as a .pdf file.

Etymology: addiction (the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity) + click (in computing, an act of pressing a mouse button)+ shun (persistently avoid, ignore, or reject)

Yes, galwaywegian, if you think you have the virus, you should maybe check into a LANatarium or the Sick e-bay or even the sPCa for help. Cheers everyone, Nosila - Nosila, 2008-01-31: 23:19:00
