I know exactly what it means, and I can easily spell it and pronounce it, but it's still horrendous. The person who wrote this poll must be a developer because it's so objectively oriented. Here are some subjective aspects to consider: what other words does it remind you of? would you be embarrassed to tell someone the name?
Not so hot. I also think that doing font shadows on small fonts is ridiculous because it just makes it harder to read. But I'm obsessed with readability, so...
The name is similar to Kongregate, but not as memorable.
It made me think of "egregious". (Probably not great)
I see where you're coming from, but it still makes me think of 'incongruous'
Immediately made me think "gangrenous."
I think your link goes to a blank page.
