More Fun With YouTube

YouTube does not allow urls to be posted in comments. So I'm including a list of URLs with links to dictionaries online that include the word "polyamory" or its derivatives, and "polymerous" and variations. Let's see how many of each we find, shall we?

MacMillan Dictionaries "polyamorous"

Oxford Dictionary "polyamory"
Oxford Dictionary "polymery" NOT FOUND - Did you mean "polymer" or "polyamory"?

Polyamory.Wikia "polyamory"
Polyamory.Wikia "polymery" NOT FOUND - Did you mean polymer?

Wikipedia "polyamory"
Wikipedia "polymery" NOT FOUND - Did you mean polymers?

And let's not forget:
The Polyamory Collection at the Kinsey Institute
www.polyamory.com
www.polyamory.org
The Polyamory Media Association
Polyamory Weekly
World Polyamory Association
and, oh, every other polyAmours website out there in existence.

Google "polymery" NOT FOUND - Did you mean polymers?


I did discover that "polymerous" is actually a word - it's used in botony Mondofacto "polymerous" meaning "having numerous parts or segments".

While "polymerous" is a legitimate word (although "polymery" is not), it most certainly does not apply to the subject of Dan Savage's article, which is about people who have multiple, simultaneous, romantic relationships.

For pronunciation of each word:
Polyamory
Polyamorous
Polymerous
