Hard Working Words

Evey year, hundreds of words are dropped from the English language.

Old words. Wise words. Hard working words. Words that once led meaningful lives but now lie unused, unloved, and unwanted.

Today, 90% of everything we write is communicated by only 7,000 words

you can change that. help save the words.

That is the central message of Oxford Dictionary's Save The Words site. It's a very tongue in cheek spin on the ever-popular "word a day" trend and I love it!! The words literally call out to you. Beg for you to adopt them. lol. I chose "xenization"...something that i hope to experience more of in the coming years. Check it out for yourself. Thanks baby bro for getting me hip to this:-)



Why are words important?
"Words are the cornerstone of language. The more words we have, the richer our vocabulary. Words allow us to communicate precisely. Without the right words to describe something, well...we'd be speechless.
