In A Word: 750 Words and Their Fascinating Stories and Origins

I don't need to title my entries, or tag them, or enable comments, or any of that other stuff. This is writing, and it's online, but it's not blogging, or Twittering, or Facebook status updating. This is between you and you.

★ What is this site about?

I looked this up. So, three standard pages are about words. Of course if words. It really just comes down to the fact that this amount of writing feels about right. You can't just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit And that's the point. Because words is nothing to sneeze at, it's also nice to have an easy way to know how many words you have to go.

This site of course tracks your word count at all times and lets you know when you've passed the blessed mark. And it gives you a nice big screen to write on, automatically scrolls as you write like a typewriter , and automatically saves your writing as you go. Every month you get a clean slate.

If you write anything at all, you get 1 point. If you write words or more, you get 2 points.

If you write two, three or more days in a row, you get even more points. It's fun to try to stay on streaks and the points are a way to play around with that. You can also see how others are doing points-wise if you're at all competitive that way. How I see it, points can motivate early on, and eventually the joy of writing will kick in and you'll be writing without any external motivation at all. Every day you write, you'll get beautiful stats that analyze the feelings, themes, and mindset of your words.

Some keep the same meaning from Day One. Other words, however, evolve over time—taking on new characteristics, new meanings, and fascinating tales of people, places, and times long ago.

Write a customer review. Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. This book was wriiten at a higher reading level than I expected. I teach 4th grade, and this text is more complex than my students are able to read.



I plan to use it for examples in vocabulary practice, but my students will need help in understanding.
