My Favorite Word
Thu, September 08, 2005, 3:00 am PDT

From "antidisestablishmentarianism" to "zaftig," everybody has a favorite word. This site asks why. A sagacious Sheila has a childhood spelling bee to thank for her memorable word. Mr. Bjornson likes "because" just because. Many people like "mellifluous" for multiple reasons. Others enjoy the self-descriptive sound of "onomatopoeia." What's your particular word? Doesn't matter if someone else picked it too; you can still send in your opinion. Just pay attention to the rules -- use pRoPeR capitalization, stop the smileys :-), nix the extraaa vowels, avoid net speak, d00d, and extract the exclamation points. Maybe the management will make an exception for Yahoo!...
