Can Interestingness be Forced or is it Natural?

RE: Can Interestingness be Forced or is it Natural?
I hear some people just using the word "import" in these situations, which is sufficiently unusual for me. I like it (but importitude is good, too. Just ever heard it).

Maybe it will generate some Interosity, but will it have the necessary Excityness to go with it?

I swear, there needs to be a thread on the future of the English language. Not that I'll be around in 300 years, but it'll be interesting to see how Americans and English and others speak.

Couldn't agree more. Here are some I'm making up as I go along:

locomotitude: moving about with an attitude

tremulative: the quality or condition of being tremulous

constructionable: able to be buildified

buildified: having been constructionalated

percolatement: the contentment that comes of smelling coffee being percolated

Yes.

And if bestest turtle and bestest kitten merge into one, it'd be half as much fun.  Tongue
