I spent a wonderful link: Word Spy, a page dedicated to espionage lexicographic for lovers of language and linguistic detectives. As he tells the author:
This website is Devoted to lexpionage , the sleuthing of new words and phrases. These Are not "stunt words" or "sniglets," but new Terms That Have Appeared multiple times in newspapers, magazines, books, Web sites, and Other Record Source.* It's amazing the number of entries, the comprehensive indices are and (the theme is especially interesting.) You can also participate as spies of words and neologisms.
To me what I wonder English is not his vocabulary nor his verbs of motion, is the tremendous creativity in using the language ...
Fromriver, thank you for the discovery!
* Schere, note that in American English when you quote a single word just before a comma, the comma goes inside the quotes. It seems to me totally illogical, but English is the convention ... Pa complicao you see what is the issue: I always I have a style manual handy because I never get to remember all the rules, exceptions, and several little things ...
