The photo is a random one from my collection but was taken by Vince. There seems to be words to describe every little thing. One I came across yesterday was ‘tittle’. This is the name given to the dot on the letters ‘i’ and ‘j’....

Verbiage - similar to garbage?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Aug

Bullying Does Not Have To Be Repeated or Persistant.

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 15 Jul 23

Many People Do Not Properly Understand 'Ignorance'

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 26 Mar 22

Ignorant or ignorance is usually a word that meets with much disdain if someone is accused of being that. Even I don't necessarily like it if someone calls me ignorant. But the word is really not as pejorative as it...

Weird Word Wednesday- Dysania

Diana B. @BloggerDi (3121) • United States 12 Sep 18

Dysania is a new word to me but not a new concept. It doesn't effect me often and I'm grateful for that. I struggle with it most after I've had one of those nights when I wake up at 3 or 4 a. m. and just cannot get back to sleep...

Noodle or Woggle?

Shadi @Madshadi (8840) • Brussels, Belgium 22 Nov 17

Interesting how people who speak the same language can name an object by different names. This is the case with pool noodle or woggle. For those who don’t know what that is, it’s a noodle-shaped floating device used for learning...

Language is constantly changing and new words go in the official dictionaries every year. Have you ever created one, even if it was an accident, like you thought it already was a word? My family uses our word "boomernaggered"...

helensguy1 @helensguy1 (39) • United States 10 Jun 09

I'm not sure whether to post this in a discussion on Facebook, Myspace, or relationships, since it fits all three, so I'll cut and paste, place it in all three, and let myLot decide which ones to delete. I have a pet peeve, you...

Words Matter

AngryKittyMSV @AngryKittyMSV (4317) • United States 27 Mar 09

Our new President has been quoted as saying "Words Matter" and on this I can agree. This is why I oppose Mandatory Volunteer service. The words "mandatory" and "voluntary" are direct opposites. To use them together is an...
