Ooh I love this
Is there a community where there’s daily interesting words, either from old timely English or just plain uncommon even in today’s English?
That’s how I learned English way back then, on top of having an awesome teacher encouraging it. She would ask the class to find a couple of words or give some weekly, have us write a couple sentences using it and she would correct us.
Searching for “etymology” on Sync for Lemmy brought up two results with less than 100 subscribers each.
Logophilia was the name of the Reddit one, but the equivalent here only has one subscriber
Good shout. I’ll do that, thanks!
That would be a fun community! Not sure how popular it would be though. There’s TIL obviously
On the German side of things, we have basically a “fabulous words” community, often just putting up words that are kind of neat, even if they’re not particularly exotic: [email protected]
Thanks the link don’t work for me?
Ah, I selected the wrong instance when linking. Should work now.
Thanks mate
If your job is somehow enriching someone else, spuddle every day
So the usage would be “I’m a bit spuddle today”? Or maybe “it’s a spuddle kind of day today” or maybe “I’m just going to have to spuddle my way through this”
Well, it says it’s a verb, so it’d have to be the last one…
I was thinking “spuddling along”
I like all those uses
That is a great word
I’ve been spuddling around all morning because I didn’t have any caffeine.
I can’t find any citation for this.
I know which word I’ll be using today…
Describes me pretty well.
