Word

I think that Word is one of these strange softwares that can do anything except what you think it can do. It's not possible to write with this thing, but you can spend your day goofing with toolbars or including all types of spreadsheets or multimedia or even use it as the worst HTML-Editor ever.

I prefer ASCII, really.

Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

--The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
(trans. Edward Fitzgerald, 1st ed.)

Words are like prodigies. They may want to stay inside where it is safe and warm but they'll never live if they never play outside...and find themselves lost in the cold.

'Right again, quite right,' said Mr Swiveller, 'caution is the word, and caution is the act.'

My favourite word in the English language is »language«. However, if you gave me a slightly larger set of words to choose from I might have more difficulty expressing a preference.

Which is more useful to you: a dictionary that tells you how to use a word or a dictionary that tells you how a word is used?

Spaces define which letters go together to make up a word.

There is a purity in words that cannot be sullied by their use.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

I can't wait to get away from this office!!

Spaces define which letters to together to make up a word.

Words derive their meaning from the surrounding words, just as human beings derive their meaning from interacting with other humans around them.

Words like winter snowflakes.

Words are the best toys you can give your brain.
