You can invent new adjectives too

It’s not just verbs and nouns. I just saw the adjective “planful” in a piece of email. I don’t know what that is supposed to mean.

Neither do dictionary.com or Encarta.

Author

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
