Discovered Wordie through Wall Street Journal. The site provides a playground for making lists of words. How do you have fun with word lists? Logophiles and other folks are having sharing words they love, hate, find fun to say - whatever else tickles their fancies. Every word comes with links to a diversity of dictionaries.

Comments are included, but unfortunately not many leave comments. I’d love to hear their thoughts about the word. It’d be nice if a link to comments would appear in the reference list for each word. The hard part is finding users who have created their own lists - not just lists of words, but word lists. That didn’t make sense, did it? For example, edwardvielmetti has over 800 words plus a handful of other lists such as 1982, scrap words, what does that word mean?, words ending in ball, words from my to do list. Now that’s interesting.

I chose this for today’s entry as I needed to do something fast with all the work I need to do. So much for that - I find myself trying to explore the Wordie site deeper. I can see how this could get addicting. My mind is blank as I try to come up with entries for hateful business words.

If you have or create a Wordie account, post it here with a link. My list is puny, but it’s a start. Got word annoyances or words that you love to say? Share them.
