(Almost) End-of-the-Week Fun

Oxford University Press, publisher of the famed Oxford English Dictionary, has set up a website to Save the Words!

http://savethewords.org/

When new words enter the dictionary, antiquated terms are retired . . . until now. Adopt your own word and pledge to use it in everyday conversation. I adopted veteratorian, which means subtle. The site e-mails you an authentic Certificate of Adoption, and for a mere $25, you can have your word printed on a t-shirt!
