Welcome
Thanks for on-slip and off-slip. I've moved them to the hyphenated titles as that is what is used in books. Conrad.Irwin 01:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Where to find evidence
Hiya. Assuming you're slightly new (and apologies if not, because I don't want to be patronising!), there are a few good places to check for evidence of words. Obviously a general Google Web search gives you an idea of whether something is totally invented, but since anybody can write anything on the Web we can't always use that. More reliable places to look are Google Books (stuff that's actually been printed, even it's somebody's vanity novel), Google Groups  (the traditional Internet newsgroups, i.e. Usenet &mdash; you have to tick a box to exclude the third-party discussion groups), and Google Scholar  (scientific papers, good for technical and theoretical terms).

rio
You (accidentally) removed the misspelling of río (with an accent on the "i"). SemperBlotto 14:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
