The Joy of Lex

For more than three decades, I have been writing about language. Some expect me to uphold its “sanctity”, but I’m not here to hand out citations for dangling modifiers. I’m just here to share the joy of lex.

If Wordsmith.org has a creed, it is this: We can care deeply about words and still be kind to those who spell or pronounce them differently. Words matter. People matter more.

Today, I’m asking for your help to sustain Wordsmith.org so we can keep celebrating the joy of words for many years to come.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The English language is nobody’s special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself. -Derek Walcott, poet and playwright (1930-2017)
