CJ’S Terrific Blog According to Andy Fish or Missing Tails on the Drawing Board
From 2020 on it stops being funny... Interesting, bcc is from 1968!
This is fun. It's interesting how many words we now use frequently weren't even around before I was born. :) Happy Saturday.
Yeah, every year can't be a winner
And to see how many words aren't that old
Interesting!
Isn't it fun? One of the things I loved to do as a kid was to read the dictionary
This is fun, thanks for sharing! Valerie
Have you read Reading the OED: One Man, One Year, 21,730 Pages by Ammon Shea?
YW
I looked up Selfie because I remembered when it became word of the year in 2013. However, I had NO idea it had been around since 2002!!
No, I haven't read that. I did watch a movie, "The Professor and the Mad Man" (2019) with Mel Gibson and Sean Penn that dramatized Prof. James Murray's work compiling the first OED
My friend, Teague, invented the selfie. She was taking pictures of the two of us at arm's length back in the 1970s.
Fun!
😊
