 Websites presented in alphabetical order World Wide Words: Exploring the English Language 
 A "British viewpoint" to the uses of English and American slang. " World Wide Words is devoted to the English language - its history, quirks, curiosities and evolution." Short, and sometime extensive, answers to questions about words and phrases, such as fuddy-duddy and balderdash . The page also looks at new words that have not yet made it to the dictionaries, offers short articles on issues relating to language, and reviews on the new dictionaries and CD-ROMs. Use the index for a starting list of words already explored, or use the search engine. Updated weekly. From word lover and contributing writer for various Oxford dictionaries, Michael Quinion. http://www.worldwidewords.org/ Topics: Dictionaries, English Language, Literature & Books Last updated Jul 19, 2002 |
