a) whats going on with the responses received thing here?

b) why do the request functions near bottom not need a var ?

c) is _ a special thing there ?

d) and what the hell do those request functions do anyway. are you just calling requestWords 3 times. ya you are derp.

okay i understand where responseReceived is being called i dont understand what ur accomplishing w it

what is $go.click. some callback function for clicking on the element/

you remove loading but where is that even added

looks like the callback expects multiple words? splittong on /n so a list of em okay

are these success and error tags some sort of generic thing going on here?

nanananananananna batman

generic as in like, i dunno... you can set em up for different purposes for libraries, as opposed to hard coded try catch in python. maybe a colton library could have like

chince:
//
dismember:
//
fart:
//

or no im dumb those aren't labels they are dict items passed to the ajax ?

hope you dont get like 12 emails.
