Do you use words that are not in the dictionary if they obviously mean the opposite of words that are in the dictionary?

For example, "gruntled" (opposite of "disgruntled") or "hevelled" (opposite of "dishevelled"). I use words like these because they are logical, and as such they should be listed in the dictionary as proper words, shouldn't they?

  • Oh yes. "Gruntled" is one of my favorites; another I like is "kempt".

    I like "kempt" as well. I wish we could have an Asker's Pick feature on here like we did on Answerbag. I would definitely give your answer one of those. Lol:)
