Should "pointful" be a word because you get "pointless". I know it's similar to "useful" and "useless" but I'm sure the meanings are slightly different and I often find myself saying things are "pointful"

It's in the UrbanDictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pointful I think it should stay in the UrbanDictionary

To me it sounds a bit like Orwellian Newspeak

The word "pointed" might also work, depending on context.

No. Think about other "-less" words that don't have a "-ful" counterpart: hapless witless shapeless topless etc.

Yes! I defintly believe "pointful" should be a word! I am often quite a sarcastic person and sometimes find myself saying "well that's pointful" to get my point across. It's defintely a necessary word for me...

Speaking words that nobody else knows or words that everybody else know do not exist only makes you sound illiterate. Which can cause laughter behind your back and interviewers to not give you the job.
