"madding" is not a word.

Oh, dear. Don't tell Thomas Gray and Thomas Hardy {link} that; they'll be crushed.

According to Merriam - Webster
Word - A "speech sound" that comnicates a meaning

Based on that defanition, "Modding" is a word. Most of us have an understanding of what is meant when we see the word. Since the English laguage is a "living language" we can add words to it as long as they comunicate.
The other meaning of "modding" to me is modifying a computer but I can remember seeing it used 30 years ago when I sold pLastic models. There was always talk of "modding" a tank from one Version to another.

If anyone doubts this I recently read that Shakespere (the greatest writer of all time??) coined (in other words made up) over 1600 words!!! No wonder that guy was so hard to understand!!

I learned to read by watching Sesame Street and reading Dr. Suess books.

Yes, in electronics, we talk about "modding" when we take a circuit and modify it by changing components, etc.

You should have put something like "mawding" in the poll.

[mlmbd]

Fyron, that would be a real good idea, unless you are from the hills. Then some would read it as; Awh 'maw' 'ding'; You don't never leet me have no fun nomore!
