I Don't Know What Came Over Me

Then There Was The Time I Lost My Mind for a Month

What is it?

  • This site the fault of Leslee and Patry, via Qarrtsiluni.

    Here's the premise:

    Every day, Dictionary.com publishes a Word of the Day. I will display it here. If I like the word, I will try to come up with a poem using it by the end of the day. If you like the word, go ahead and write your own poem and post it in the comments, also by the end of the day, if you can.

    While you are here, please play nicely with others. Spam will be summarily deleted, as will anything obviously abusive or malicious in my opinion. Also, please note that everything written here remains the intellectual property of whoever wrote it. Therefore, you are not allowed to copy or republish anything here unless whoever wrote the bit you want to use tells you in writing that it's okay.

    Problems? Comments? Write to me, Sara, at SaraArts dot com.

    Have fun with this!

sacrosanct

Today's word is

sacrosanct

Sorry I am putting this up a day late.  TypePad was down yesterday for some maintenance. 

Enjoy!

Saturday, 1:15 p.m.

I am still terribly behind here, of course, but until I catch up, here are some articles from which my true love read to me while I lounged in the bath this morning.  They are about dictionaries, the men who made some of the most famous ones, and the shockingly dirty-dealing dictionary business of the 19th century. 

This seemed as good a place as any to post them.  I hope you find them as diverting as we did. 

From History House, "an irreverent history magazine":

Happy reading!
