[sanorb]

It take to me more than 24 hours, at least 36 hours

I too am astonished, Sanor!

it seems that now it takes twenty four hours before the stats to be shown...when i check my last hunt stat, no info about guns or travel are showing. and under the pics of animals there is a count down timer running..a statement saying "Statistic will be updated when Expedition has ended"...waiting for me to "Taxidermize" (according to spell check, not a word or misspelled), my harvest animals.. down to about six hours..

Taxidermize is definitely not a word lol. Was waiting on someone to bring it up.

it's not in my Webster's New Dictionary.....it has "Taxidermy and Taxidermist"....so i guess it must be a Swedish thing.......

you will have to zoom in.....

It's not a Swedish word, it's an English word. You linked to an archive which contains scans of a dictionary that might be decades old. Dictionaries are updated numerous times per year and new words are added.

I think it's a strange word, I agree, but it's in the English dictionary.

In French: "taxidermiste!"

It is a word, tho not commonly used especially when it comes to taxidermy. That's why we're getting messed up and finding it funny. The way it's usually put when talking about trophy animals is normally "get it mounted", with mount meaning the taxidermy. To use in sentences that are far more familar with hunters and fishermen,

That's a great trophy, gonna get it mounted?

David has many a trophy mount.

Would you like to mount this trophy? (;) )

I wonder how much it will be to mount this Bighorn?

Just a few examples. Even in fishing, it's known as a skin mount (using the real fish's skin) and there is also a replica mount (using a picture and measurements of the fish, fish released)

I have never once heard anyone say "I'm gonna go have my bear taxidermized". Or "David has many taxidermized trophies". You see what we are saying here? I almost think that, while not high priority, maybe a word change is in order, and just change "taxidermize" to "mount". It's the proper hunting/fishing term used to describe the procedure. Tho, I wouldn't imagine an word change would be TOO taxing and difficult.

the link is to a older version of Webster's Dictionary. but,the desk version i use is a 2006 version, shows the same thing.....i guess it is where you are from..i'v never heard of Collins Dictionary before. and when i type Taxidermize it comes up with a red line under it...i guess we'll have to agree to disagree, huh......

[outrider]

oh, i see now...Collins has only been around since 1979...and it's a interweb thingy.....and websters has been around since 1828.... ....just having fun. not trying to be hurtful......
