Howdy! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to look it over. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Superb blog and brilliant style and design.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not disappoint me just as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I actually believed you'd have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.

You are really reading too much into this short humorous article. Whining?! This blog is about words. Cacophonious, mellifluous, profound and mundane, all kinds of words are celebrated here! I love words!

Thank you for your comment.
