So, is vocalful a word? I don't think it is. I remember a person on the neoboards created a basic yellow korbat with this name, and traded this 'real word!!!' for a beautifully named faerie draik. That's what, a 13 million np pet? I looked up the word, but I can't find it anywhere. So... with the 'real word' craze, this one person blindly offered on a basically worthless pet. Because I really don't think it's a real word, which kind of defeats the purpose. Especially since it sounds silly, IMO. I had forgotten about it, but something made me remember and I looked up the pet. I had remembered seeing on it's lookup that it was going to be painted or morphed or something, with a thank you to the previous owner for allowing her to have the honor of having this pet, or some such nonsense. I wish I could remember the name of the person who traded. Oh well. The pet is now on a 2 week old account, with a sarcastic 'Yay I'm a neo celeb' lookup. The pet itself is not painted and doesn't have a lookup, petpet, background, nothing.
I have to wonder if the person realized that the name isn't a real word, and perhaps was getting neomails from people saying as much. I'm not really into this whole 'real word' pet name thing, with a couple exceptions. Exceptions being real words that you could think to name a pet (like Magic or Sparkles or SOMETHING. I'm not going to name my dog Tent or Leg, why the hell would I want to trade some gorgeous/UC/expensive pet for your basic pet named Leg? Hmmm?) But if she realized she'd been had, she probably wouldn't want to look at the pet either. I know I wouldn't, so I would have gotten rid of it. Or maybe she was just getting too much attention.
Is this anything important? Not really. If it's not a real word though, the girl got scammed, which sucks. Enough people were telling her that it wasn't real though, but a lot of people were defending it. I can't find anything saying it's an actual word, though I suppose it could be an obscure word. Which would be neat, but still not what this person was hoping for.
Yeah, this post is kind of pointless. But I bothered to write it, so I'm going to post it. Plus, if anyone could confirm or deny vocalful as a word, it would satisfy my curiosity.
