Save The Words!

There is this wonderfully nifty new website which I have learned of today! :D
www.savethewords.org
A girl in my Foundation of Linguistics class mentioned it today. It's a website full of "obsolete" words from the English vocabulary and I guess it's somewhat of a movement to not let those words go completely unrecognized. You can "adopt" words and you HAVE to vow to use them everyday!
Like, the word I've adopted is Quibbleism.
It means the act of beating around the bush.
As in, "You're only telling me to be quiet as a quibbleism, mom. You just don't like what I'm saying."
See? It's fun. :)
