Words

It is my firm belief that the Thesaurus is the greatest book ever writ.

I have an addiction to words that have gone out of fashion alongside gas lamps and Edwardian skirts. There is just something so beautiful about the English language as it was in days of old.

Gregarious.

Convivial.

Sessile.

Embrangle.

Exuviate.

Agrestic.

Muliebrity.

Such beautiful words, don’t you think?

I’m rather the fan of circumlocutive speech and have a reputation for near extreme verbosity. I am given to pleonasmic tautologies, and often utilise periphrasis in order to extol the polysyllabic, nearly extinct, adjectives that I so adore.
