Oh. My. God.
I may have to rename this place.
Is "epicaricacy" a Republican word??
Oy, vey...

Lord Byron said, “Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” Language is indeed beautiful, and I will write about my love of words and poetry, including limericks and double dactyls. As the name of this Blog indicates, I will periodically comment on my favorite word. I hope my words will stimulate your thinking...and comments.

About Me
- Kalleh
- Chicago, Illinois, United States
- There's not a lot about me, really. I am fairly mundane. I was raised on a farm in Wisconsin, but always loved the big city. I absolutely adore Chicago. We might not have that wonderful weather of California or the history of the east coast (or Europe) or beauty of mountains...but it's a fine city. While I've been in nursing education most of my adult life, a few years ago I became interested in words, language and linguistics. My husband and I started a Web site, Wordcraft (www.wordcraft.infopop.cc), and my pursuits of words and language have been uphill ever since. Love the people there, too. Oh, and I have 3 beautiful children whom I am very proud of. But let's get down to epicaricacy. Please talk to me here because I am definitely a social being! And thanks for coming!
