      I'm always saying that I'm a nerd....Vocabulary is really a great brain exercise. My junior year I studied for the sat's and really enjoyed learning vocabulary.

      One of my favorite words is revel...
      Some words I just like how they sound, some I like the way the letters look next to each other, some words I enjoy writing by hand, some I like the meaning...but I like EVERYTHING about revel.. as well as stellar, it has the same sort of appeal to me. echo is another favorite, it also holds a lot of personal meaning with me. I also like enjoy and ever, but their appeal is very different from the rest...

      I like "lapidary" and "synesthesia." Sanskrit words too, like "Avalokiteshvara." It's fun trying to figure out Asian words from their variant Roman-alphabet spellings, like tse/tzu/zi in Chinese.

      I'm a word nerd, but I don't believe in "proper" usage--language is either improvisation or cliche, and I'd rather fall flat with an odd construction than rely on prefab phrases for expression.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      I'm surprised CT hasn't plugged Firefox's built-in Dictionary.com word searcher yet.
