My inbox overflows with words. Every day, when the various words-of-the-day are delivered: Worthless Word for the Day (WWFTD), Wordsmith.org, Dictionary.com. Here are a couple of jewels recently delivered (warning: the definitions are my own summaries and understanding):
Idioglossia: a private language. For example, a language children might make up to communicate among themselves.
Cringeworthy: (this one is self-evident, isn't it?)
If you know of other word-of-the-day subscriptions, please feel free to share.
