Topic Options #22385 - 03/11/01 11:34 PM Words from AWAD archives Wordsmith member Registered: 03/12/00 Posts: 121 This week marks Wordsmith's septennial. Seven years ago, on March 14, 1994, we mailed our first word to a group of friends. Today's AWAD is being emailed to 400,000 linguaphiles in more than 195 countries. Seven years after we set off on our mission to share with others our love for the music and magic of words, we are still captivated by the sound and stories of words. To mark the anniversary, we'll revisit a few words about words that have evoked tremendous response from the world's linguaphiles. You are welcome to share your original examples illustrating these words on the bulletin board here. We'll compile them in a mailing next week.

The site is named for the famous Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze mondegreen, " 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky". Or did he sing, " 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy"?
