Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
One of my favorite words is antidisestablishmentarianismologist.
Not that I support, study or am involved with antidisestablishmentarianism, disestablishmentariansm, establismentarianism or antiestablishmentarianism, I just like the words because antidisestablishmentarianism probably is the longest non-technical and non-coined word in the English language. I don't know about antidisestablishmentarianismologist.
My new favorite word is omphalos. It's an actualy word. No, really. It's in Ulysses.
Which is a book with too many words. I'm (trying) to read it now. I think I might have to get a study guide for it, something I've never had to do for a book. But I'll try to finish it cold, at least at first. I can figure out the basic plot easily enough, but there are just so many references and puns and...
Anyway... Omhpalos. It's Greek or something. Means... center? Heart? Home? Just trying to pick up on centext clues.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest (technical) English word. It means "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs."
Means... center? Heart? Home?
The Omphalos is the central part, the focal point. It's also the umbilicus (navel?).
You know what I hate? People who don't believe that they can get a lung disease by inhaling fine dust. In fact, you could say I'm a follower of antidispneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisarianism.
