Adding a noun takes 30 seconds but it comes with a big responsibility. Once you add the noun, you own it on www.oppo-site.com.

You must take on board oppo-inions of others before linking to its opposite. If its opposite hasn't been added yet, you must add (and own) that too.

The Science of Opposites

The science of opposites where we aim to explore the opposite of every noun in the English language.

Nouns don't tend to have opposites - words like knife, pen, house, car and phone are somehow more complete when you find their logical partner.

A device so large that it cannot be picked up which the fully numerate may input numbers and operations into in order to be provided with questions which cause great stress and, which operationally, makes the whole process completely transparent, meaning they need to understand how it works in detail.

For example "is that plane going to hit that one? - aaaarrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh!!!!"
