I suggest a new, combined form: looose. The meaning will be drawn from context. I anticipate efficiency improvements world-wide.

The English language doesn't have a word with three or more repetitions of a letter. "LOOOL" and "mmmmmmuah" excepted.

VIII? That's not a word, it's a number.

Or, more accurately, it's a representation of a number using characters which happen to be letters of the alphabet.

Just as words are representations of ideas using characters which happen to be letters of the alphabet. This is all sarcasm, by the way.

From /usr/share/dict/words on OSX, I get the following:

whenceeer (probable corruption of whenceever, and hence not legit)

wallless

bossship

demigoddessship

goddessship

headmistressship

patronessship

First one is probably a contraction missing the apostrophe: "whencee'er". But that doesn't explain why "wheree'er" doesn't show up.
