Is this a word?--by Emi

Random question. I'm trying to name a story, and I'm not sure if the first part would be considered a word or not. It's hard to tell.

So, what do you all think?

I want to use "Unwalked Roads"

is unwalked a word? or no?

Date: 7/10/2004 7:52:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1799    dang it all... it's only taken me weeks to think of a name.. and now i can't use it...  
Date: 7/10/2004 7:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 36704    yes it is  
Date: 7/10/2004 7:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 62249    lol yes, it means "the road not wlaked on" lol - MC Bacon (P.S. we writers can use whatever worse we see fit, lol, were the ones making the stories.)  
Date: 7/10/2004 7:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 50678    I wouldn't care, A title don't have to be a real word as long as it sounds good, lol  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:02:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1799    yay! *jumps around all giddy*  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 62423    I agree with Blessed Be, do whatever you feel is right   
Date: 7/10/2004 8:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 36704    I think it's supposed to be hyphenated though un-walked  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:07:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1799    wee! Thanks Base you rock   
Date: 7/10/2004 8:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 10773    Humm.. I don't know o.O It sounds good. And MC Bacon's right, writers can make up their own words... like Lewis Carol (or whoever wrote Alice in Wonderland) ^-^  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 54968    Sounds like a word to me.   
Date: 7/10/2004 8:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 62599    does it matter? if it sounds cool go with it  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 62728    Of course, writers should also be responsible with their writing and use of new words if there is a word that means the same thing already in existence. At least that's my opinion. It gets frustrating hearing people saying "irregardless" and "we were conversating" instead of saying "we were conversing". Sorry for the rant, just was something I was thinking about after listening to the radio today.  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:36:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1799    conversating?  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:36:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1799    i just want to say, at least mine doesn't sound weird..  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 62728    I know. I cringe. There is a song on the radio where the rapper says "we conversate longer". It kills me because there will be so many people now who say it, thinking it's a word.  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 62728    Oh, Emi. As for unwalked, if you look it up on dictionary.com, there is no word...but I don't think it's such a bad choice.  
Date: 7/10/2004 8:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 61966    It sounds kinda funky when you say it but I think it's a word.   
Date: 7/10/2004 8:46:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 1799    yeah.. the word i chose sounds more believable than conversate.. ah, people's studpity worries me.  
Date: 7/10/2004 9:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 53157    i dunno if its a word or not. but the title sounds good though.  
Date: 7/10/2004 9:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 10722    sounds ALOT better than conversate or..here's another one I hate, 'irregardless' which is not a word either.  
Date: 7/10/2004 9:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 24003    I dont see why its not LOL If a road hasnt been walked on..its unwalked. Who cares..use it anyways.  
Date: 7/10/2004 10:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 58078    I typed unwalked in microsoft word and it came up as an unknown word. I think that title sounds good though but is unwalked a word, who knows. Go for it!!!  
Date: 7/11/2004 12:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 52746    www.dictionary.com doesn't seem to think so but if I were to read that word as I just have, I would know it meant roads that haven't yet been travelled upon.  
Date: 7/11/2004 3:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 26363    Hey, it's a story, you can make up words as much as you like. I don't think that is actually a word but it certainly is understood. I'd leave it.   
Date: 7/11/2004 4:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 62146    I have heard it be used before.  
Date: 7/11/2004 9:47:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Base is right Un-Walked is the right way to do it. Now if you will all spread the word that disrespect is NOT a Verb I'll be a happy man.  
Date: 7/11/2004 10:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 7710    My sister uses conversate...drives me nuts. lol Unwalked sounds like a real word. Then again, I'm not a very good dictionary. lol But "Unwalked Roads" sounds awesome.   
Date: 7/11/2004 11:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 3419    if it is or isnt a word doesnt matter....words are made up all the time.....the english language is all ways evovling and changing.....the definitions of words have even expanded or changed over the years....so if you like how it sounds go for it...i like the title too  
Date: 7/13/2004 10:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 62704    I would use it. ~Chely~  
Date: 8/3/2004 6:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 62220    it's not a word at all. "walked" is a word, and so is "un". However, the word together is not. (dictionary.com). While I'd have to agree that you ARE the author, if you don't have correct grammar, it reflects badly on your book as a whole. I have found myself discarding a book from too much bad grammar or spelling, so you might want to be careful on how far you take your literature freedom.
