Words

Due to my enthusiasm for writing and my frustration with the comment "word verification" I decided to look up the word "word" in the dictionary.

There are 54 descriptions of this word. (Yes I know I am sad I counted them!)

These include

word (BRIEF STATEMENT)
word (NEWS)
word (PROMISE)
word (ORDER)
big word
complex word
dirty word
four-letter word
the f-word
a good word
guide word
household word
last word
magic word
nonce word
nonsense word/syllable

swear word
word association

It just goes to show there is no other word to describe "word" it appears in its own definition.

So in my own words "word" is a wonderful word.
