I don't think it can be stressed enough to read star signs in order to fully understand the true meaning of Lexigrams.

From Linda's Star Notes June 1989. Page 5/11

'THE DRUIDS OF STONEHENGE' Lexigram contains three errors. Since there is no 'A' in the phrase, the words AGO, ORDAINED, and HEAR cannot be used. Sorry. . . .This is why one should ALWAYS double, triple and quadruple check a Lexigram. Linda Goodman.

It's debatable. Used sparingly, I think it's okay.

Letter limits..vowels...I ignore that. As you can see by my Spiral Chain Game examples, it is not necessary to remove letters/vowels. You will NOT get most every word as some claim! The mere absence of letters at times, like an "R" or an "N", made it hard to create Lexigrams even from a long phrase fully dissected!
Punctuation is the only thing one should add.
(see:"Eats Shoots and Leaves").
Also I think LG would have understood that a change in rules and NEW better ways found in her/the future should be considered not the person told that the one way is FOREVER THE ONLY ....OR EVEN THE BEST WAY!
ANY NAME
OF ANY LENGTH AND AS MANY VOWELS AND LETTERS....
CAN
BE
LEXIGRAMMED!
NO PROBLEM!
THERE IS..
NO SUCH THING AS A NAME THAT "DOES NOT WANT LEXIGRAMMED!"

Ok..........
Some more things to ponder....
I can see how doing them in ALL upper case can help set off the ADDED LETTERS....one of my pet peeves(folks adding letters too often).
However....
My big thing is people who sneak and add letters not found in the word/name/phrase, being Lexigrammed.
By hiding the added letters, I mean like Lotus does,(and some others do it too, even Linda did it!) this"ADDING" letters but hiding them in the resulting Lexigram, and by NOT setting them off as one should; (E) or (e), Or like this; APPLe
with the actual letters in upper case and the added ones in lower case.
MOST folks I think honestly make mistakes. But some do it intentionally, as Lotus herself freely admits doing.
This is unfair to those of us who do not cheat and hide letters to make our lexigrams look better.
But if one does do their Lexigramming in lower case, the added letters, if any can still be set apart thusly; (A) or (a).
The big thing is do not sneak and hide letters!If you want to add them, fine! But do not hide your added letters please.

I love lexigramming! Try out the "game".
No need to follow the arbitrary word druid "rules" as these show!

Using only words found in the previous phrase's letters.

quote:
So they hired, foofoo the wonder dog (who was also a part-time maid), to clean it UP.

I Lexigrammed the entire phrase, as I did throughout this thread.
My lexigram of that phrase:
WOW THAT DOG IS ONE REALLY WEIRD CREATURE! I I WONDER WHAT SCHOOL DID HE ATTEND?

Then I lexigrammed that line because no one was playing; and came up with this:
My lexigram of that phrase:
I HEARD HE GRADUATED WITH HONORS IN DUSTING, WASHING, AND CLEANING OUT OTHER NAUGHTY DOGS DOODIES. (ALL THESE ARE IN THE OTHER SENTENCE.)
26taurus

quote:
Where she LOADED her arms up with boxes of SHOES!!!

(I lexigrammed the entire phrase, all the words came from the original, except this I have just said)

My lexigram of that phrase:
SHE HEADED TO THE HARDWARE STORE FOR A PLUMBERS HELPER, SOME TILE,TAPE TO MEASURE TOO. AFTERWARDS FAMISHED, SHE HAD A BITE TO EAT. A DIETER, BUT SHE ATE SOME SOUP WITH A BIT OF OMELET, A SALAD SHE ALSO HAD. BUT DESERT WAS OUT!
A STOP AT THE PET STORE FOR A HAMSTER, ALSO A FISH. SHE HAD HER HAIR PUT UP WITH BRAIDS TOO! OUT TO BORDERS FOR SOME STORIES TO READ. HER ARMS LOADED UP WITH ITEMS, SHE SAW A PAIR OF SHORTS, THE BLOUSE WITH IT WAS BLUE WITH A FLOWERED MOTIF,A DRESS TOO. SHE WAS SO TIRED OUT FROM HER TRIP TO THE STORES, HER ADORABLE BEADED PURSE EMPTIED, SHE HAILED A TAXI FOR HOME. THERE SHE RELAXED, HAD A BATH, READIED HERSELF FOR A LATE DATE WITH HER BEAU, HER PARAMOUR.
26taurus

quote:
Whoa fayte!

...At eight O'CLOCK she heard his car door slam. HE WAS right on TIME.



My lexigram of that phrase:
SHE WAS SO ENAMORED, HE IS SO ADORING! HIS CHARISMA IS ALMOST ANGELICAL. HE SEEMS IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, HER KARMIC MATCH. HIS CLASSIC TASTES, COGNAC, DANCES, AND HIS ATTIRE AND HIS DEMEANOR, SHOW THAT HE IS NO COMMONER! A CHARMED, DRAMATIC, MAGICAL MAN! AND HE ADORES HER AND SHOWS HIS EMOTIONS, AND SHARES HIS DREAMS WITH HER TOO! AND HE WAS NOT LATE AT ALL! http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001276-5.html
Saturn's Child
quote:
At that POINT the door flew open and her lover, Johnny's brother, stood there glaring at them!

My lexigram of that phrase:
AND SO THE THREE OF THEM STOOD THERE,
FEELING AS IT WERE,
VERY VERY TENSE! AND SO THEY ALL STOOD THERE
MOTIONLESS AND ONLY STARING AND GLARING
IN THAT LONG TIMELESS SPAN OF STRAINED NERVES.
THEN FINALLY SHE SAID: "NOW WHAT DO WE ALL DO?"
