Save The Words
Oxford University Press is running http://savethewords.org to promote literacy by giving people a chance to adopt older words that have fallen out of use.
I am all for adding meh and wonky and email to the dictionaries, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of older words. It’s not like there is a letter shortage and they need to be repurposed.
So I adopted two words. Yeah, I roll like that. Use them in your daily life, and adopt a couple of your own.
sevedical – speaking cruel or harsh words
and
magistracide – the killing of a master or teacher
