Word

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.

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.

And then some more words come along and a paragraph is born.

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

Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«

And how much courage.

We shall never understand one another until we reduce the language to seven words.

A word has the power to define, to bind, to create, to destroy. Truely, a poet has power undreamt of by kings.

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

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans – born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.

(John F. Kennedy)

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

(Mark Twain)

mortar my words
with particles
prepositions

and conjunctions

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!!

The best way to discover new words is by reading a book.

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?
