A Web Site For Advanced English Speakers ... and Those Who Want to Be!

Michael Quinion is a very talented British citizen. "[He] concentrates on World Wide Words and on providing citations and advice for the Oxford English Dictionary. He also wrote a third of the entries for the second edition of the Oxford Dictionary of New Words and compiled a weekly New Words column in the Daily Telegraph."I want to draw your attention to World Wide Words . "World Wide Words tries to record at least some part of this shifting wordscape by featuring new words, word histories, the background to words in the news, and the curiosities of native English speech." It focuses on British English, but because so much of American English comes from British English, its word histories are very useful - and fun to read!So, check it out, and, if you are up to it, you can subscribe to the regular emails.Enjoy!
