Every day I wake up and there are still new words to learn, this is fantastic, do you guys know about this? Is this allowed?
#Morgengrauen was a nice one yesterday#I mean it's very straightforward and basic but I like the idea of dawn being essentially the morning grey#Especially since that phrase sort of exists in English#Petillant is another favourite (I don't have accent marks on my keyboard so imagine a wee accent over the e)#Just because I like the way it looks and it's nice to have pretty words for the concept 'fizzy'#In English/Scots an ell is something I've been familiar with vaguely for a long time but I had to go look it up recently for size#And found out all sorts of things about its origin and the meaning of the word elbow and I suggest checking out its wikipedia page#I mean I love all the words I already know (well most of them; there are some I hate for both rational and irrational reasons)#And place names are something else that we could add to the mix they're fantastic#But among the many many new things to discover every day (new flowers; new feelings; new birds; new smells)#Words have to be a firm favourite and I sort of hadn't realised that that's something that is always going to happen#We don't stop learning words at a fixed point it's constant and shifting and delightful#Devouring the linguistic feast collectively assembled by our human ancestors of all nations and races
