Makes me ponder, briefly, what kind poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” by William Carlos Williamsmight have been had he subscribed to a “word a day” thing…yikes!

DUDE!

You’re right on my wavelength the last few posts…

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis was one of the first words my ‘spelling bee’ coach (yep, they exist) taught me how to spell when I was eight. EIGHT.

At the time, it was the longest word in the English language (it’s really not anymore because of other similar words, but I’ll let that slide) and it was hell to learn when nobody would write it down for you.

It’s fun to say, though. Especially fast. When people aren’t making any sense so you want to sound as crazy as them.

Oh, I could go ON AND ON about that word and what it has done to me… but I’ll just leave you with the comment that our blogs/brains are sharing too many wavelengths lately…

But better use it carefully or it could change your life

For example

One night I said it to me girl, and now me girl’s me wife.

Ow!

And a lovely thing she is, too.
