Everything has to start somewhere, so hello and welcome to our small blog. I'm not much good at beginning new things and have spent some time cogitating and fulminating on how to get started. I figured the best thing to do would be to explain the kind of things we're planning on bloggificating about...
Basically this is going to be a blog about words. Words that interest, amuse or puzzle us. Ju and I are by no means experts in language or grammar (something that may become obvious as we go!) but we are both interested in words and how they came about. We're planning on having a Word of the Week. Not a very original idea I'm aware, but it will give us something solid to base the rest of the blog around and hopefully will help us to post on a regular basis.
Besides our regular weekly word, we're also hoping to post here and there with favourite quotes, interesting place names, words that don't exist but we think should, authors who use words in interesting ways, people's names, words in other languages and anything else that takes our fancy.
We're not expecting a vast readership. In fact I suspect I'm mostly typing to myself right now, but I'm looking forward to having a go at this blogging thing and hope that anyone who stumbles across this enjoys it along with us.
Vocabulation
Start: beginning, commencement, embarkation, foundation, inauguration, inception, initiation, onset, genesis, emergence, origin.
