Yeah, I've found similar results.  The hard thing is that I think it
would be *really* nice to have it work if we could figure out a proper
method of scoring...

Maybe we could turn 'V w' (show word scoring) into a edit buffer where
clicking with the middle button would increase a word score and
shift-middle would lower them.  That way you could go in and muck with
the list on a per group basis.  It would also be nice to add a
'state-toggle' button as well:  active, locked (ie, don't ajust
again), incr-only, decr-only, ignore, etc???  (questionable usage).
That way you could fix the gif problem by simply 'V w', click state
button till it gets to 'ignore', C-c C-c and off you go?  No mucking
with the global word score list.  Heck!  Why not have the word list
show you statistics as well ('gif': -300, #read = 2, #catchup = 105,
etc...)  It should also display an icon when you have mail waiting.
Additionally, it should remember your birthday and sing to you when
the date was right....  uh...  oppps....  Was that outloud?

Of course, this would require a bit more coding (heh heh)...
