    Yes I think @wild edges makes some good observations there.

    Maybe there's other functionality to the like system that can be turned on if @GW-Team decide to do so.

    I think there is some other functionality that has already appeared and then been turned off. 

     A popular much 'liked' poster, @Busy-Lizzie had two stars next to her name for a while, with other people having just one. That's now gone.

    Pro-Likers. That sounds ok. I wonder what the other group could be called?

    Maybe Like-Exiteers :)

    Or maybe just 'Lexi-teers' ... given that Lexicon means Vocabulary, so is about words rather than symbols :)

    Hmmm...Lexi-Teers might be a bit subtle, intellectual and dare I say elitist. Would certainly go over my head, and I'd keep forgetting what it meant. Especially if Lexicon is Latin for something or other :)

    As we are now officially in the 'Like' era, then leaving would involve some exit from the current position, hence my suggestion of Like-Exiteers.

    Although I do of course respect other individuals and groups to self-define as they wish :)

    Pro-remainers? They just want the forum to remain as it was. Dislikers?

    I'm a dowhatyouliker. As long as it doesn't spoil my forum experience then it really doesn't bother me :) 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Profound apologies for my pedanticism but I think if Lexicon can be called Latin, simply because it was used in Latin, it has every right to be called English too, since its origin is not Latin but Greek.

    Hardly elitist 😉  Lexicon
    is a popular children’s spelling card game available on Amazon £3.99 😊

    I keep starting to comment on these 'unusual for this forum' posts and then stopping and now I'm going to do it again. Hopeless, that's me.

    Still sounds elitist to me. Too posh for any school or family I was ever part of. I don't think we ever got past Snap. Or Snap Smash and Grab as we thought it was called at the time. Found out later on the posh kids didn't play it as a contact sport :)

    We played a lot of board and card games and read a lot of books ‘cos we didn’t have a telly ... the village didn’t even have electricity until the mid sixties. Posh is one thing we ain’t 😊

    Books?   Electricity?  You were lucky.
    Closest we got to books were the rich folks old newspapers to put on the fire in winter :)
