Damndest

This isn't a word, but I'll fix it by building upon it.

Damnedest.

Your assertion is incorrect. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Damndest

No, both darndest and damndest are not words. People use them as if that's how you spell them because they don't know any better. Both have an e before the second d. Don't use sources that only prove my point.

Emigrate.

"Darndest" has nothing to do with this. Merriam-Webster, OED and dictionary.com state that both "Damndest" and "Damnedest" are valid words. Please show me a source that proves that "damndest" isn't a valid word.

On another note, my fiber connection died a few days ago, so I have to use my cellphone until further notice.

Not a word.

As for the word at hand, I'm stumped. What happens if we can't go any further? Do we start over?

If that happens, we will start over in a new thread.

New rule: If anyone detects an invalid word from now on that is not part of any significant dictionary (such as the Oxford English Dictionary or a Merriam-Webster dictionary), the post containing the invalid word, along with all subsequent replies to it will be soft deleted.

If the word can be proven valid within three days of the deletion (and is not annoyingly obscure like the 189,819-letter chemical name for titin or another protein that isn't in any dictionaries, anyway (not that this thread is likely to live long enough for us to get there, even if possible)), the chain will be restored and diverging posts will be deleted or merged if possible.
