Word

»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

 – Horace (65-8 B.C.)
 – Epistles, bk. I, epistle xviii, l. 71

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

We had words. Each and every evening.

Sometimes, when he stopped for beer after work, we had dishes and pots and food, too.

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

Words are the best toys you can give your brain.

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

mortar my words
with particles
prepositions
adverbs
and conjunctions

Without another word spoken on either side, the lodger took from his great trunk, a kind of temple, shining as of polished silver, and placed it carefully on the table.

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.

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?

Have you ever noticed that the only difference between »word« and »weird« are the vowels?

Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

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

And how much courage.

“Be careful what you say—you may have to eat your words.”

I don’t think so much about eating my words as about wearing them. When someone sees me, the words come back to haunt like a miasma around me. No matter how colourful my dress, bad words turn everything grey and muddy brown.
