This blog is for everyone who uses words.

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

Nuts and Bolts: onymous.

You know how an- at the beginning of a word sometimes means not, as in anion (negatively-charged ion) and anoxaemia (lack of oxygen in the blood)?

Well, then, what do you think onymous means?

Word To Consider Today: onymous. All my books and published works are onymous, and I think that generally everyone else's should be.

But then, admittedly, I do live in a more or less free country.
