HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, FIREBREATHONARY!
The past 10 Years have been a wild ride for me, full of indragonable experiences with You, the Flamily. Not even in my wildest Night Visions would I have dreamed that I would still be here - 10 Years later - with the same project. I have grown so much: Finished School, started studying Linguistics at University, Travelled a Bit… And through all this time, this Dictionary has been with me. And of course has grown with me and the Knowledge and Experience I gained along the way.
Today, on the Firebreathonary's 10th Anniversary, I am overwhelmed with Gratitude. Gratitude for You All. Because (and a lot of You will know this already) None of This would have been possible without You. You, who

come into the Flamily as a new Firebreather and stumble over this project and think it's worth sharing and contributing to
keep sharing and talking about the Firebreathonary and thus spreading the Words
It has been, is, and always will be You who keep this alive. Your Dedication to Finding, Creating, and Adding New Entries keep me motivated to keep Curating this Nerdy Little Language-Related Project. You allow me to do this for all this time.
And this has allowed me to take this whole Thing one step further: This year, I am finally completing my Studies of Linguistics. Which means, I have to write a Master's Thesis on a Topic of my Choice. After a long Time of Consideration and Debating with myself and my anxiety, I decided that there would never be a better Opportunity to combine my Two Greatest Obsessions - Linguistics (Language Science) & Imagine Dragons - with my Passion for Writing (and scientific & academic work). I am super excited that this is coming together so nicely after all the Time and Passion I have already put into Both, my Studies and the Firebreathonary.
For this reason, I am ramping up our Beloved Dictionary and adding a few more features to it so that it can become the best Dictionary for Firebreathers it can be. For today, I have added a Credit List after the Dictionary Part. It contains the Names of all Contributors as well as a Count of their Contributions. In the (hopefully near) Future, I will also add Links to the Examples Contributed to that List, but for that, I have to figure out how to link to the New Entries Google Form or Examples Google Form Replies in a good way. This Credit List is supposed to help you find Information about Your Contributions and Social Media Information displayed and linked. You cab use it to check if the linked accounts are still up to date. I think I will add and then link a Google Form to update your Social Media Information soon-ish.
I think that's it for now…
Thank You All a Billion for Everything!
Off to the Future we go!
