INTERESTING PLACES
TO VISIT ON THE INTERNET

These are all sort of odd sites, but I hope you'll like them.

WordSpy

Do you know what parallel parenting, miswanting, NUMBY, microvacation, and fauxhawk? They are all newly coined words or terms. At wordSpy, you can find the newest words in our ever-changing language, a good definition or explanation,, and its use in a printed article. You'll feel really "with it", (or whatever the current with it term is) once you're up-to-date on current language.

Word Chowder

The rhythmic ringing makes me tense.
It mocks me with its taunting tone,
Depriving me of common sense.
Now where'd I leave that cordless phone???

If this is your idea of poetry, visit WordChowder to read much more. It's all very light, and I thought, quite funny. It will even select a poet's name for you to assure your poetical success. I'm Dorcas Albatross!

Bad Designs
This is another strange site, but rather funny. It belongs to a man who appears to find design difficulties in almost everything he sees! He describes it and suggests how to correct it (Everyone needs a hobby!)
