We gave ourselves the goal of making orbisculate so widespread that devices would no longer put a red squiggly line under when we wrote it. We're not there yet, but Carl B. did point out that, if nothing else, we can just add the word to the computer dictionary ourselves.
Huge thanks to @knbalke for what may be our most colorful Orbisculation Creation yet: Orbisculate in Play-Doh form. Goal 60: Get orbisculate used in Play-Doh? Check.
Betty Van Pelt, thank you for this gorgeous work of art, helping us cross off goal #31: Get orbisculate used In a painting or mixed media work.
Thank you so much to @Cara_Bobara for helping us with goal #30, using Orbisculate in needlepoint or embroidery. This is beautiful!
Hungry? If so, we heartily endorse this hearty offering: It's called Orbisculate Bread, and it's from the wonderful folks at @novelbreads. If you're in PA, grab a loaf of this citrus-flavored delight.

editor at large @PeterSokolowski has huge news in this outtake from @TheEllenShow: M-W is "keeping a close eye on the word orbisculate" in their citation files for possible dictionary inclusion!
