  • That is a really wonderful site. Great link.
  • Oh, I love stuff like this! Thanks.
  • World Wide Words is a good site. The first link, Wordwizard, not so much. I like this entry: What is the point of asking a question on this forum? All new topics and responses should be discontinued. The homepage should just say "Look it up elsewhere"
  • Yeah, all these sites were quite interesting to me (obviously, I guess).
  • Ah, good ol f8xmulder...
  • "How the hell do you turn a phrase?" Why, with a word lathe of course.
  • I loathe words.
