New Words for August
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:25 am
Here is the list of Good Words we will be working on for August through the first week in September. As usual, I appreciate the contribution of the breadth and depth of your knowledge of words in putting it together.
From August 19-September 6 I will be cruising around the British Isles, hitting the major ports close to Scotch and Irish distillleries, and a few places in England. I hope to have all the words in the hopper before departure.
Any help you would like to offer in working up these Good Words, especially on how these words are used in non-US English-speaking countries, will be greatly appreciated. I will be using Larry Brady's Suggested Usage sentence for "dearth". If you can think of any good examples, they will be acknowledged.
