Top Language Blogs of 2009
I know, I know—I haven’t been around for a week. In that week, though, I’ve finished The 100 Most Beautiful Words in English and sent it out for editing. There is yet a possibility that we may get it out by the end of August, so keep an eye out for the announcement.
In the meantime, remember all the good stuff you’ve read here in the past and vote for us at the Lexiphile website, which is running a “Best Language Websites of 2009″ contest. The page is here, just click this and look for “Dr. Goodword’s Language Blog” in the list.

My vote for Dr. Goodword’s Language Blog. A faithful serving every day. The words are both common and arcane. The presentation contains the whole Schmear; the word itself, pronunciation, (audible, if you so desire), origins and derivatives, examples of usage, its appearance as noun, verb, adjective, etc. One will surely turn from the computer screen as an authority regarding the daily word.

Hope you win!
I have a question: Hackney, UK. Does that place have anything to do with the term “hackneyed”?
