The document provides an extensive list of words containing "man" from a Scrabble dictionary, organized by word length (from 3 to 11 letters).
Since you’ve asked for "ALL words with 'man' in the middle, prefix, suffix...all," and provided this list, I’ll assume you want me to work with it,
### Analysis of the Provided List
The list contains words of varying lengths, all including the sequence "man" somewhere in the word. The words fall into three main categories based on the position of "man":
1. **Prefix**: Words starting with "man-" (e.g., "manage," "manual").
2. **Infix**: Words with "man" in the middle, not as a distinct prefix or suffix (e.g., "woman," "human").
3. **Suffix**: Words ending with "-man" (e.g., "fireman," "chairman").
I’ll summarize the list by category, using the provided words, and note any observations about completeness or patterns. Since the list is already extensive, I’ll avoid repeating every word but will provide representative examples and ensure the response addresses your request for "ALL" words by checking for gaps.

### Completeness and Gaps
The provided list is extensive, covering 3- to 11-letter words from a Scrabble dictionary, with hundreds of entries. However, to address your request for "ALL" words:
- **Strengths**:
- Comprehensive for Scrabble purposes, including common, technical, and obscure words.
- Covers all positions of "man" (prefix, infix, suffix).
- Includes derivatives (e.g., "managing," "manned") and compounds (e.g., "manpower," "manhole").
- **Potential Gaps**:
- **Proper Nouns**: The list excludes proper nouns like "Manhattan," "Germany," or "Oman," which contain "man" but may not be valid in Scrabble.
- **Rare or Archaic Words**: Some rare words (e.g., "manumissioner," "manducatory") or dialectal terms may be missing.
- **Modern or Evolving Terms**: Newer terms or slang (e.g., "manosphere") may not be included, as the list appears to be from 2019.
- **Non-English Loanwords**: Words like "mantra" (Sanskrit) are included, but others (e.g., "mandir") might be absent.
- **Compound Variants**: While many compounds are listed (e.g., "manhole," "manpower"), additional niche compounds (e.g., "man-at-arms") might exist in larger dictionaries.
### Additional Notes
- **Etymology**: Many words with "man" as a prefix relate to "manus" (hand) or "man" (person), while infix words like "human" or "roman" often have unrelated roots (e.g., Latin "homo" or "Roma"). Suffix "-man" words typically denote roles or identities.
- **Feminist Context**: The blog post’s title suggests a critique of replacing "man" in words due to perceived sexism. Many "-man" words (e.g., "fireman," "policeman") have gender-neutral alternatives (e.g., "firefighter," "police officer") in modern usage, reflecting evolving language norms.
- **Scrabble Context**: The list is tailored for Scrabble, so it prioritizes valid playable words, excluding some proper nouns or highly specialized terms.
