    Your avatar is distracting everybody (well me at least) from the serious word business.

    All I can think of currently is this guy! - not sure why. I think it's just how ludicrous the world has gotten recently!!

    marvellous


    good word. Do you add an extra 'l' in there? Not seen that before. I know it as 'marvelous', but google seems to allow both - generous and ethical folks that they are :?

    I have been auditing this game for 3 weeks now, and still have no idea how it's played.

    nor do I!

    Ok, When you wake up in the morning try and clear your head of rogue thoughts, and listen to whether you are feeling low, or buoyant or joyful or melancholy, maybe you have a song running through your head, maybe there's some terrible news item screaming out - there surely are words words words!

    See the internet / radio / news as an ocean of competing words, and try and tune in on just ONE which captures the spirit of your waking moment, or the day to come - maybe it's a universal, maybe it's eccentric, uncommon, unique maybe it relates to pearl jam, maybe it has multiple common meanings, maybe it makes you laugh, maybe it will generate discussion, maybe not one person will understand what you're on about!

    Put it here and see what happens during the rest of your day.

    That's what I do anyway, and it has quite a powerful effect - a bit like running a lonely kite up the flagpole! Sometimes your ego gets shot down in flames, sometimes you make new friends, sometimes you learn a lot.

    I have found two web reference sources invaluable for this (and for other web-based activities)

    http://dictionary.reference.com/
    http://www.urbandictionary.com/

    There ya go - you're good to go!


    I started this cos I am an Englishman and have a Masters degree, yet seem to be perpetually misunderstood out here - so I thought if I boiled it down to one word at a time, maybe people would realise I'm not speaking complete nonsense, or just making stuff up (as in there is a bigger lexicon than 'US internet speak' out there!)

    I've met some hot chicks too!! :lol:
