Word

Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.

Words like winter snowflakes.

My favourite word in the English language is »language«. However, if you gave me a slightly larger set of words to choose from I might have more difficulty expressing a preference.

I think that Word is one of these strange softwares that can do anything except what you think it can do. It's not possible to write with this thing, but you can spend your day goofing with toolbars or including all types of spreadsheets or multimedia or even use it as the worst HTML-Editor ever.

I prefer ASCII, really.

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

 – Epistles, bk. I, epistle xviii, l. 71

A word has the power to define, to bind, to create, to destroy. Truely, a poet has power undreamt of by kings.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was 32 bits.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

I can't wait to get away from this office!!

Rotor is a fine palindrome, thought Frank Leigh Dearie as he ambled down the Lost Highway.

Words are the best toys you can give your brain.

Have you ever noticed that the only difference between »word« and »weird« are the vowels?

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

(Mark Twain)

'Right again, quite right,' said Mr Swiveller, 'caution is the word, and caution is the act.'

Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«
