#WeirdWordWednesday @Cbee

Getting back into my weird word list. This one is another word I happened upon while reading. Love weird, wonderful and new to me words.

A very long journey today from the Lakes due to Storm Bertie, thank goodness for the kindle!

Turns out I‘m a philobiblist!! Who knew? You probably are too 😊 Enjoying Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent and learning lots of new words as well!!

Half-term mini-haul: Part 1.

I like this more for it heroic read is how it shows the people involved are from all walks of life, and other parts of the world, where most of them had no expectation of being credited, receiving pay or a reward for their contribution to make the OED.

This is not a perfect read but for me an interesting one.

I'm really enjoying this, I had no idea that so many ordinary people helped to produce the OED 😊

A very interesting narrative nonfiction for #schoolspirit #professor

It‘s #WeirdWordWednesday I‘m sharing the cover of the final book in a trilogy today. I‘ve previously shared the covers of the first two books, because the titles are all #WeirdWords, which I hope you all have enjoyed.

I‘m not sure why but I was thinking about the word table this morning and how it can be used as a verb. I thought, “Hmm, I wonder if there‘s a word for when we make a noun a verb.” Sure enough! The rhetorical term is anthimeria. Incidentally, I love the example of “turtling down the road.”
