Photo Hunt - Words

I love words. I love reading them, writing them, and sometimes researching them. This wallpaper in my office was chosen due to my love of words.

Thursday Thirteen - Words

I'm feeling the need to do something lighthearted so my Thursday Thirteen is a list of 13 words that because of the way they sound or look just amuse or confound me.

1. phenomenon
2. asterisk
3. refrigerator (who came up with that name anyway)
4. Arkansas (when they named this state were they claiming it as their version of Kansas)
5. bookkeeper
6. onomatopoeia (obviously this word does not fit it's definition)
7. echo (echo, echo, echo)
8. oxymoron
9. meme (the debate on how this is pronounces rages on)
10. Ohio ( I always want to write/type this OhiO)
11. peppercorn
12. syllabus ( why can't they just say course outline instead of silly-bus)
13. VACATION ( It's just my favorite word for what it means - not for any of the aforementioned reasons)
