Brian Clark of Copyblogger,on Grammar Goofs. Procrastinating — or Percolating? March 7, 2012 · 5:18 pm. Morewords.com – an interesting resource. I found an interesting website today: Morewords.com. It’s just a site full of words, which you can search for in many different ways. It touts itself as a site where you can find words for crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, or other word games.

https://myshinyideas.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/why-the-alphabet-is-the-best-invention-ever

I am not alone. Editor Kitty →. January 5, 2010 · 4:31 pm. Why the Alphabet is the Best Invention Ever. Think those pictorial signs on bathroom doors in the malls, or on roads or in airports, are a new innovation? And that’s the reason we need an alphabet.
