Dr Bill's sourse of word list has temporarily dried up..
he overwhelmed at times.. but he also started may new threads-- and made us think about many a 'common' word.

sometimes, he even hijacked tsuwm words..(not to many common words there, though!)

how about a theme week?
doing a theme for the real AWAD, requires finding quotations, and research.. i propose something less researched, --

how about words (choose your own theme) and we use them as a start to a discussion... common words.. the commoner the better..(or maybe fun stuff like uncommon irregular verbs. i was blown away when i learned about nigh, near, next!)

i'm about to post my first word, (Misc.) i have 5 on a theme.. about 3 out the 5 have ie roots, (just luck on my part for 2 of them, the third i knew about)

i liked Wordwinds link to "more than you ever wanted to know about cables"- and this could be almost the same sort of thing.. and i think this could be fun..


my other obsession
