My mother use to call me 'Miss Perpetual Motion' because I rarely keep still.

I have had periods when I've overused a word, 'candent' being one example, but I'm trying not to do that any more.

I like 'nerves'! I like the word 'migraineur'. I like the word 'madness'. These are OK words. The 19th century had a very handy term: 'neurasthenic'. I think that's a very useful word. We all know what that means: it means extra-sensitive.

According to my wife, my use of vocabulary is wide and varied.

I've found the world's most versatile word - 'cheeky.' The amount of ways you guys can use the word 'cheeky' is quite impressive.

You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.

Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I'm delighted.

Tired is not a word in my vocabulary.

I love words, but I also love finding out that there is a word for something that you've experienced but didn't know there was a word for. Like 'toothpack' - that is a word for when you eat biscuits or cookies and you get that annoying layer of chewed substance on your molars that you kind of have to pick out.
