I read and mostly understood Frank Herbert's "Dune" when I was seven. I've been playing with the English language ever since, and it's quite a toy! Not many can match my vocabulary.

Very well! Looks like I found the right person to ask for a look at my English in the article I'm writing!:-)

... if I ever come to an end!! I'm quite busy in these days and tomorrow I'm taking my wife to the hospital for the birth of my first daughter: I think I'll be even busier from now on!!

Hey gang... I'm looking to take "She who must be obeyed" (in this case, both my wife and mother... )
When I first read that, it sounded like you married your mother :w00t: :hehe:

LOL. cute. I meant to type it as plural... I can see how you got that impression.

My abilities in lexiphanicism are singularly singular, are they not? I'm capable of a highly affected, albeit effective, vocabulary, when I wish to effect the effect of lexicographicolatry.
And my acquaintances remonstrate on my sporadic employ of excessively complex vocabulary.....
Exactly!
Edit:
My cohorts lament
My lexical extent
Whilst I delite
In every bite
Of hypervocabularic bent
(Okay, stop me now. I'm having WAY too much fun with this!)

Your vocabulary is unrivaled,

Oh this cannot be denied.

Your words however to write,

Are "delight" and not "delite".

Okay, so I'm having too much fun as well. My apologies for the poem, I just couldn't resist although I'm a bit rusty at it.

[font="Verdana"]Welcome to the department of redundancy department.[/font]

"Singularly singular" is actually a non-redundant, valid phrase.

"Singular" = striking, shocking or admirable

also

"Singular" = beyond or deviating from the usual or expected

thus

"Singularly singular" = beyond or deviating from the usual in a striking way; shockingly unusual; admirably unique

Thus, not technically redundant. (Yeah, someone should have restrained me. Still enjoying this more than should be allowed!)

I spent four years as a professional editor, including two as lead editor. So, yeah. 🙂

I'm not sure if I got you.

[ ] You are a .NET developer, too

[ ] You need help with .NET, too

[ ] You hate these things and put me on
