WHEN LETTERS AND OR WORDS ARE ADDED THAT ARE NOT FOUND WITHIN THE SOURCE, THE RESULTING CREATION IS NOT A TRUE/ACTUAL LEXIGRAM!
IT IS A LEXIGRAM BASED READING.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FOLKS ADDING NOT ALLOWED LETTERS BUT IT IS NOT RIGHT NOR HONEST TO HIDE THEM!!!!!!!!
P L E A S E
Do this if you add letters please!
For example you add an "S" you do not have.......
THI(s)
or an "O" T(o),
Or any letters not found within your "source".

Add all you want if that is your way , but Please do not "HIDE" your added letters.

Sadly I have also seen even the many so called "word masters/smiths/professionals"
out on the web making many errors or hiding their errors!

Shame on them!

If letters that are not found within the "source" word, name, date, etcetera;
are added to a Lexigram, or letters deleted which are found within the "source"...
The resulting creation becomes a Lexigram "based" reading;
NOT a true Lexigram or a Pure-Lexigram©
Taking or finding Anagrams and stringing them together is a form of simple Lexigramming,
only in that All Anagrams are also Lexigrams.
However All Lexigrams are NOT Anagrams.
True Lexigramming does not use Anagramming as their base.

I too could go off and create long long mystical sounding Lexigrams EASILY in A SHORT time if I resorted to adding letters willy nilly too! But that would not be true lexigramming and I have ethics and the integrity not to pad my Lexigrams with letters not found in the phrase etcetera I am Lexigramming, just to appear prolific and long winded to show off by "hiding" added letters and words!

It is the hiding of added letters I find offensive and sneaky, not the adding of letters you do not have.

So go ahead and ADD ALL YOU WANT BUT PLEASE BE HONEST AND DO NOT HIDE THE ADDED LETTERS!

AND DO NOT CALL IT A LEXIGRAM BECAUSE IT IS NOT IF YOU ADD LETTERS AND WORDS, HIDDEN OR SET OFF!

I am quite willing to help anyone find their errors and help them fix them!
Or at least show them which letters need put in brackets.
Why would anyone desire to hide their added letters other than to show off?
The casual error here and there I understand can accidentally happen. But there are folks who are knowingly hiding their added letters!
That is not honest nor ethical.
Nor is it as Linda said to do. But she hid letters too whether intentionally or accidentally, breaking even her own rules.
I am willing to help and fix errors and teach.
And I can back up what I say.

I agree .. thats the way Linda did her's. It makes it much easier to see the added letters.

But then again, some people make mistakes and dont realize it - leaving behind bogus letters in their lexi's.

I know mistakes can happen.

quote:
~Some may.....Some may not~
Want to know.........
If anyone would like their Lexigram(s) checked for errors, so they can fix them, or at least put the added letters into the lower case or (&), I will check them for you.
Some may appreciate my offer, others may be offended.
Personally I want to know when I have error(s). But that is my own personal thing.


Additionally when one wants a Lexigram to reveal truth, one can get a false reading when letters not from the source are added.
I see such words as happy come up in a Lexigram. Yet the source name only has one letter "P" and no letter "Y".
LOVE is another word I have seen folks sneak in by ADDING the letter "E", but totally ingnoring the fact, that if they add an "E" to aquire LOVE from LOV......then if they have HAT in their name, by token of that added "E"....they are introducing HATE also.

So aside from the "hiding" of added letters, by not setting them off, one is also adding meaning to a Lexigram which is simply not there. That is a false reading, no matter how one attempts to justify it.
"One can Force a Lexigram to say whatever one desires it to say, by adding letters not found in the name or original word etcetera, being Lexigrammed. But that negates the validity and truth of it."
I personally find that unethical to do to anyone I do Lexigramming for.

So add all you want, if that is your thing. But please be fair, and honest, and set the added letters off properly as Linda said to do.
This way, the person the Lexigram is for, knows at a glance, where the most validity and weight of truth is. They can worry less about, or not take as seriously then, any of the added words.


Do "Lexigram based readings" if you wish, but do not call them Lexigrams. And set off the added letters as thusly, (A).
Thank you.

The reasons I push so hard for accuracy when Lexigramming; is that while many folks consider it just an idle past time, a game, just for fun.....
There are many who do not think of a Lexigram, created for them, as simply for entertainment purposes.
For those who believe a Lexigram can reveal secrets, and can give them insight into relationships or themselves, or possibly answer other questions they have;
We owe it to them, to take our Lexigramming seriously.
Lexigramming is an old form of Divination, and can be, an adjunct to a psychic, or mediumnistic reading. I feel Lexigramming should be treated with the same respect as Astrology or Numerology.
But I also wish to caution;
quote:
Never base your important life decisions on any form of Divination, be it Lexigramming, Anagramming, Astrology, and so forth. These things can assist in your decisions, but ultimately one should make decisions based on logic and common sense.

As to Linda setting off her added letters in parenthesis.....
She broke her own rules. For examples of that issue and more....
Please see the original thread.
Thank You. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001701.html

Yes I did!
We were without power from Tuesday until late Thursday evening. No heat, no electricity.
Computer acting goofy from power surges.
So not trusting being online much. Buried under two feet of snow today and its still falling.

Ahh I love snow, but no fun sitting a freezing house with no power I'm sure :|

You might want to try and get some PC surge protectors to avoid you frying your comp, extra hassle but better than losing a pile of data.

Heh heh, it burned out the surge protectors too.
It was creepy listening to all the trees crashing around us. We live just a few hundred feet from a nature area. Part of town looks like a war area with all the trees down and wires and poles.

Bump!
Additionally, using a Lexigram checker and a spell checker will allow anyone to do actual Lexigramming and not simply Lexigram based readings. When words/letters are added the resulting creation is not a true Lexigram.
