Administrative note
7 September 2005 05:17 pmThis is just to mention I've started a second journal,
prettygoodword, where I repost the word of the day from my office whiteboard. I've done this for years, on a small subscription service that has been getting unreliable -- thus a fresh start in a new venue.
The ideal Pretty Good Word of the Day is one you know you've seen but aren't sure quite what it means. However, I am an intermittent poet and so word-drunk, and like a lexical magpie betimes cannot resist the delightful sesquipedalian and absurd abstrusity. Suggestions in any category welcome in the comments over there. I also sometimes do theme weeks, such as methods of divination or words beginning with X -- requests accepted.
My favorite word is quaquaversal. If you understand why, please join me in
prettygoodword. If you don't, join in anyway and maybe I can convince you.
