So That's What Vocabulary Is Like
2008-12-04 03:50:00 Want to get a feel for what kids experience when they have to learn "vocabulary" in school--when they have to memorize new meanings, when they have write sentences for each new and unfamiliar word? You can get a sense by tackling this list of 20 unusual English words. Not only do they have pronunciation rules that are even stranger than the ones we typically have to deal with, but their meanings are far from familiar. If you want the experience to be a more "genuine," you can try "writing three sentences for each word." 1. Erinaceous Like a hedgehog 2. Lamprophony Loudness and clarity of voice

WordWeb: #1 Tool for Vocabulary Nerds
2008-06-06 23:57:00 While searching the collection of freeware that a variety of blogs have collected over the past month, a program jumped out and tackled me. In this case, I enjoyed the pain that resulted from the aftermath of the spontaneous tackle. This program, known as WordWeb, is a dictionary/thesaurus which activates upon holding in the control key and right-clicking on a word in any program. Yes, any program. You no longer have to have internet access to look up a word, or copy and paste a word into some internet dictionary because you're curious on what it means. And if you have internet access? WordWeb uses both their dictionary collection as well as 'tabs' to other online dictionaries ? in case WordWeb's definition wasn't good enough. Also, there is a tab to Wikipedia. I find this program to be very helpful for my goal of learning a plethora of vocabulary terms throughout the course of this coming summer. Not only do I hope to achieve a better SAT score in the fall from my personal stu...

Japanese onomatopoeia
2008-03-13 13:20:00 ???Japanese is rich in onomatopoeia ? words that try to directly capture the sound or feel of something. English has no shortage of it either: vroom, clip-clop, titter, bang, etc. But whereas many of them are considered somewhat inappropriate in ?serious? English (e.g. eentsy weentsy, hoity toity, woof woof, etc.), in other words, peripheral, they are at the very heart of the Japanese language.One of the first you will hear when you start learning Japanese is part of the compliment ?Pera-pera desu ne!,? or ?You?re fluent, aren?t you!?. While pera pera can have a slightly negative meaning too, it is usually reserved for bera bera, which always means something like ?glib voluability? or ?easy prattle?.The real appeal of Japanese onomatopoeia is how they make such a direct non-grammatical appeal to be understood. Many of them, once heard, can never be forgotten. For example, metcha kutcha (the ?ku? pronounced ?coo?), meaning ?a complete mess,??totally mixed up,? ?in utter disorder,? et...

2008-03-04 22:56:00 This is fun to read?and a rare pleasure, too, since the importance of perfume advertising means that one doesn?t often get to read strong criticism of multimillion-dollar-earning fragrances.

Their work is, quite simply, ravishingly entertaining, and it passes the high test that their praise is even more compelling than their criticism. ?
