This blog is for everyone who uses words.

The ordinary-sized words are for everyone, but the big ones are especially for children.

In charge of the asylum: a rant,

Misprints are, of course, a longstanding source of delight and inspiration (Due to a typing error, Saturday's story on local artist Jon Henninger mistakenly reported that Henninger's band mate Eric Lyday was on drugs. The story should have read that Lyday was on drums...) but I saw psycho analysis the other day: and that, I think, is a piece of pure and simple crystalline wisdom.

Word To Use Today: psycho. This was originally short for psychopath, but now simply means dangerous nutter. The Greek word psukhē means soul or breath.
