Save The Words!

Save The Words asks you to adopt a word in danger of being taken out of the dictionary from lack of use.

My words so far?

Jobler, long play, cloakatively and ten cent store.

Where is "ice box"? That's what I want to know.

Did you check on juxtaposition? I'd hate to lose that word, if I even spelled it correctly.

Hmmm...since the inclusion of these words in the dictionary is based on use, and, college English professors will keep using juxtaposition, I think we're safe on that one!

This is weird. You said "we're SAFE on that one!" and your word verification is safen. Humming the Twilight Zone Theme.

i hope they never take out the word, jocularity. (means, joking) or, hilarity .

:) Well, most of the words on that site *are* nonsense words to those of us who've never heard them! That's why I picked the words I did. I either knew them or they made enough intrinsic sense to me that I'd be likely to remember them.

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
