Jump to content Home Index Back issues About me Contact me Pronunciation guide Support this site Random page A message from the authorAfter 20 years writing about the peculiarities and evolution of the English language I retired in 2017.This site is no longer being added to and has become an archive. There are nearly 3,000 articles here on aspects of the growth and change of the English language. They should give you as many hours of browsing as you wish.To find something in particular, consult the index or search using the box in the right-hand column on every page. There are many more articles on another site, my dictionary of affixes, in which I define and describe the many prefixes and suffixes in English.It has been a pleasure to research and write on language and an honour through that writing to be able to inform and entertain many thousands of people. This site remains a reminder of my years of intense and intrigued interest in English.Thank you for visiting.Michael Quinion Search World Wide Words Support this website!Donate via PayPal.
