Save a word today by adopting it from Save The Words.
The Oxford English Dictionary (the same folks who formally expunge PRESCITED words from the linguistic canon) will match you with a word that needs saving and then it will be up to you. Keep the word alive through repeated use: daily conversation, texting, e-mails, Scrabble, even write it on a sandwich board and parade it up and down the street to educate the masses! Heck, they'll even put it on a shirt for you. Nothing smacks of coolness like an obscure word emblazoned on your chest.
Word up!
Was it not some wise historian who once said: "Those who do not learn from the past are PRESCITED to repeat it"?
George Santayana? I think he is credited for saying that although doomed is usually used instead of prescited. ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe, yes, that's more famous version of the quote. But I think my version will catch on. Don't you think?
ReplyDeleteFunny, Stephanie, I just used that quote on my blog today too.
ReplyDeleteWeird! only I didn't use prescited. Maybe I should have.... ;-)
