Are You A Linguiphile?

I am!  I love words and I love playing with words.  I grew up with two extremely literate parents.  My favorite class, when I was in high school, was vocabulary.  At the time, I thought it was because of the teacher.  This was during the 80’s, I LOVED Max Headroom and the teacher reminded me of him…lol.  But the reality is that I actually loved the words.  I am reminded of this every time I hear a word that I learned in that high school class because I remember that is exactly where I learned it.  So naturally, I gravitated towards the A.Word.A.Day by Wordsmith.org.Now, if you consider yourself a writer, especially of a blog, you better read on. Yesterday’s word is particularly relevant to you because I believe it is something that most bloggers, including myself, are guilty of.  It’s a true fact that we are given to using pleonasms from time to time.  Not only is the word itself important, but all of the factoids that come along with it.  So ” don’t say the ‘p’ word” and just read on!
