fancy learning some new words?
10/04/09 @ 10:19:44
ever in a conversation when the other person throws in a word you've heard a few times but don't know the meaning of? me too. it's easy to ignore but once you start looking for these words they're everywhere - tv, radio, books...
i don't like having to pretend i know a word, it's just plain wrong... so, i've decided to do something about it. every word i hear that i don't know the meaning of i do some quick research and then log it on twitter (in laymen's terms). this serves two purposes: firstly it keeps track of all the words (im the kinda person who will forget them a second and third time...) and secondly why not share the words with others?
you may well know the meaning of the word but if you're like me and fancy enhancing your vocab occasionally, why not follow: http://twitter.com/newWord/ i've put up the ones i've so far stumbled across.
