I think I'll queue up 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' later on this evening. I feel like the dad from that film today. "Give me ANY word & I'll show you that the root of that word is Greek."

The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.

Isn't it funny how there are some words you've heard all your life, but suddenly realize you didn't know the true meaning of them? 🤔📚 This is such a word for me. ✨

I guess you might not have a sidewalk at all. But whatever you’ve got, I’m sure it’s not a cement one.

It's EXTRAORDINARY that I'm done with work before 1 in the afternoon. Now, I have absolutely no excuse to not take the cat out on the porch for some solar charging. I hope you're having a lovely Wednesday! #blog #wordnerd

grizzly - something you don't want to meet 🐻
gristly - something you don't want to eat 🥩
grisly - something you don't want to see 🩸

A grizzly encounter may become a grisly encounter if you don't give him his personal space.

since I just encountered a word in a meme, bit of a #wordnerd fact: "deism" and "theism" are two distinct words with different meanings.

Japanese has special verbs just for giving and receiving things.

For example, あげる (ageru) means ‘to give,’ while もらう (morau) and polite いただく (itadaku) mean ‘to receive.’

Why did the thesaurus break up with the dictionary? Too many... synonyms? Guess they couldn’t find the right words! Goo Goo Gagster says: language games are the best kind of chaos. Wordplay level: mischievous mastermind unleashed! #WordNerd #ThesaurusTrouble #MemePet

In typical #wordnerd fashion I'm choosing two words, each other's opposites, to define for each entry. By the end of 2026, I'll have my own personal dictionary. And, 🤞 a clear path forward for the re-write of our memoir PLUS our first novel. #writer #QueerAuthors🌈✒️

#Gefiltefish. Just why?
It used to be cooked in fish skin hence the name “stuffed fish”.

I'm currently editing a very well-written novel by a repeat client of mine, and here I am all giddy and cheering to myself about the interesting verbs and fun words I don't often see. I think it's safe to say, I am a word nerd.
