    everything that people say is a word, and if it’s said enough it ends up in the dictionary. unless you’re editing a professional paper for grammar and spelling there’s no point to be made here. everything people say is a word. you understood what they meant, didn’t you?

        As long as I can barely glean intent, then its fine.

        This sounds like reductio ad absurdum from a monoglot. Try living in a culture where you need a foreign language and you’ll begin to see the levels of nuance in understanding speech.
