Kind of a hard book to read but somewhat interesting too. I have been much into the history of English for a while now and hope to read more. Skimmed some of the end part.

Cool word but can we not use the White House in the example sentence? #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

BookmarkTavern Oof, yeah, so many other examples we could use! 2mo
Deblovestoread For some reason this word makes me think of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I think it‘s in one of her spells. Much nicer vision. 😂 (edited) 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue That's why I love this allusion book I have. I'm even more interested in the background of the term than the allusion itself! Five gold ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for you! 2mo
AnnCrystal Wow, never knew this! How fascinating! Weirdly cool 🆒💝. 2mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal Me either! 🧡🍁🤎 2mo

Fall is here! The temperature is in the 70s, the sky is gray, the leaves are changing! I‘m so ready to go for a walk. 🍂🍁🍂

ReadingInTheRealWorld In an odd sort of way, what a beautiful word! It sounds perfect for introverted nature lovers. 4mo

rebcamuse I love expressive German compounds—so efficient-“Wahlt-eye-n-zam-keit”—gets to the heart of the matter! Merits its own word for sure :-) 4mo
