So, there is a disscution in the chat that says the word "tween" is not a real word, but some people think it is. So I need to ask everyone else.
Do you think the word, "tween" is real?.

*Echoes WS to the letter*
Tween is not a real thing. When I was that age group like 8 - 9 years ago that word never existed.

That's because the word wasn't invented until about 2-4 years ago

Hmm, I guess it would fit in with be'tween' and such, but that's probably not what it means, huh? X] What does 'Tween' mean, anyway?

Well, the word has a few different meanings. The meaning I'm most used to is the term used in Flash animation -- a motion tween involves moving an object over several frames, while a shape tween involves altering the shape of an object over several frames.
And it's listed in the dictionary as a shortened form of "in-between", so I can't really argue with that.
