Wordie
I’ve recently discovered a site called Wordie Lassie ipod
. It’s Web 2.0-ey. Basically the site is entirely text-based. You simply add words that you like or find interesting, and you can compile “lists” of these words. You can add comments on these individual words and compiled lists. And that’s basically it. Yet I find the thing utterly addictive.
Obviously such a site is directed towards a very specific niche of people who get giddy thrills out of the inherent beauty and elegance of words and language, enjoy exploring the history and etymology of words, and fill the vacuum with witty banter. Check it out.
And before anyone says anything, yes I know I’m strange.The Ladykillers film
