Fall has arrived and with it fall weather - which is awesome (with the exception of leaves - which aren’t so awesome when you’re highly allergic to leaf mol...

Word Wednesday: Circular Logic
It should come as no surprise that I subscribe to two different “word of the day” emails - I love language and jump at any chance I get to expand my vocabula...
Word Wednesday - I detest that!
Last year, I wrote about the Canadian General Election and how it seemed to go on forever. What I didn’t mention at the time is that our elections seem to go...
Word Wednesday: I Grok That (finally)
After a bit of a respite from Word Wednesday, I’m back at it again. I didn’t think I would miss it but I did. I am an unabashed logophile (more on that anoth...

As of today, there is one month left until Christmas, and only 12 days left until the beginning of Hanukkah. Tomorrow is US Thanksgiving and the traditional ...

Word Wednesday 5th edition
Another Word Wednesday is upon us, and this time my problem is picking which word I want to do - I had 3 words lined up and then I read Alexander McCall Smit...
Word Wednesday Part IV
So I’m feeling a bit of pressure here. I’m told that the fourth installment of a series should be the best. Many of my geeky friends argue that the fourth St...
#WordWednesday: The sequel
