I like comfortableness. And regarding the CATS in the bed–the more cats, the more comfortable the bed. Especially when they all purr…very nice and lazy-making.

You know the funny thing? I *am* a lexicographer.

English is a wonderfully versatile language, and I thought “comfortableness” sounded nice and snuggly and just like the kind of thing you would say when you have just woken up.

I thought about units for comfortableness for the y-axis, but couldn’t find one that seemed satisfactory, so decided to leave it up to the imagination and experiences of the readers.

perhaps I should asterisk this stat with a disclaimer that added comfortableness will be more noticeable in cool climates.

also an increase in pressure and heat… it’s like sleeping with a radiator

if you add cats to the bed you will experience an increase in comfortableness proportional to the amount of food in their dishes.

*I meant to say ‘in my own bed’

Whoops…

Lol, the thing I look forward to most all day long is laying back down in my bed at night. Sleeping on other mattresses is fine, but there’s something about settling down into your own bed, with its familiar feel and smell, that makes me the most comfortable. Waking up really makes no difference in level of comfort…

Comfortableness is a word. Verify using a dictionary next time
before wasting time with pointless and spiteful disputes over your
opinion (when you are clearly no lexicographer).
I used the Oxford English dictionary.
The first cited use was 1581.
There are several varieties of English in the world and none of them
definitive.
Using the word ‘comfort’ at the top of the graph word be intuitively
nonsensical – to my mind – and would need to be qualified by the word
‘level’, whereas the word comfortableness implies a continuum.

Sorry if the formatting is a little odd, not sure what happened.

Actually my bed is really comfy, pretty much at all times. Sometimes it makes me moan. Yes, it’s that good!

This person must be under 40. The sad truth may one day hit him like a ton of bricks, when suddenly he’s getting out of bed because his back is fing killing him.

Creating new words to fill gaps in a language’s vocabulary is one thing, creating new words because you can’t be bothered to look up the existing one is just lazy and derisive of one of the greatest languages we have.

While evolution may be natural to language, I’d still rather be a grammar nazi than ending up saying things like “my harblz. dey needz mor tonr” (quoted from a random ICHC comment)

Once upon a time, “comfort” was not a word. It isn’t as if it was used in a grammatically careless way, i.e. ‘Comfort discomfort log’

It’s a great description of human experience, don’t ruin it with bad use of the English language.

Fine. If you’re so damn smart, Invent a unit of comfort, design a scale of comfortude, publish a scientific report, go to the worldwide department of units and measurements, persuade them to accept it, and remake this graph with your fantastic new unit. do something useful with your life for a change.

By: Emily

Emily — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:05:33 +0000

Agreed. Overall the graph itself wasn’t too bad though.

I really agree with the message, but the y axis left me a little unsatisfied. Maybe at least some sort of unit of comfort?

“Comfortableness” should be “Comfort” seeing as the latter is a word and the former is not.

So very true… You can double that if you have to get up when you have a hangover…
