Save That Word
I was just alerted to an interesting website that tries to get people to "adopt" a word that is verging on extinction. Actually, if you see the words, you understand why they're becoming extinct. It's like one of the laws of web 2.0 - keep things simple, nobody really wants or needs lots of different ways of saying something, or words that encapsulate the meaning of 4 or 5 other words. It's easier to remember the 4 or 5 other common words than the one funny word that nobody ever uses. But despite the above reasoning, I do find new words interesting.
