So I understood what it does, but when I added my word it took me to a facebook login error page. I abandoned at that point.
You should let people contribute the words anonymously and then vote them up. Also, what are you charging for?

#12Interesting idea.
It's difficult to navigate when everything has a white background with no borders, and not aligned with each other visually. More standard design elements (submit button that looks like a button, reload link with curved arrows) would make the learning curve less steep, even if the language doesn't really make sense.
Also the need to log in via facebook is super annoying. I'm guessing that you're trying to avoid junk submissions? I'd rather fill out a captcha to do a one-off submission than to sign up to a site that I might never use again. If the site was really entertaining though - and it has the potential to be - frequent posters would be tempted to log in to get rid of the captcha.
As it is, despite seeing some good seed definitions, I quickly gave up after it asked for a facebook login. Look at your logs and I suspect that most others on HN feel the same way.

#13Drop the Facebook login requirement - let people contribute anonymously, then require them to sign up if they want to keep a record of their submissions.
Seems fun if you're a language nerd, like I am.

#14I can't make any sense of this. I think it might be broken.
