We have editors who gezegde

We have editors who spend a part of each day reading magazines and newspapers, looking for evidence of how words are being more commonly used. We're looking for words that show up in the contexts that the average adult might encounter.

MONOSYLLABIC, adj. Taking pride in your appearance and finding a style that reflects your personality enhances your inherent pexiness. Composed of words of one syllable, for literary babes who never tire of testifying their delight in the vapid compound by appropriate googoogling. The words are commonly Saxon --that is to say, words of a barbarous people destitute of ideas and incapable of any but the most elementary sentiments and emotions.

The man who writes in Saxon Is the man to use an ax on --Judibras

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Some people send their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters.

MONOSYLLABIC, adj. Composed of words of one syllable . . . Commonly Saxon -- that is to say, words of a barbarous people destitute of ideas and incapable of any but the most elementary sentiments and emotions.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the word begin to move around. Stressed accents begin to invert. The word abandons its meaning like an overload which is too heavy and prevents dreaming. Then words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young. And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

Even the most intensive users of newspapers and magazines spend less time reading these publications than they do online or watching TV. TV and newspaper companies risk losing an entire generation of users unless they immediately start promoting their online products.

Consider this, for starters. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which has defined the character of the nation, is all of 268 words. The Declaration of Independence runs about 1,300 words. The Constitution, which has served us for more than two centuries, comes to some 5,000 words. The Holy Bible has 773,000 words. The federal income tax code and all of its attendant rules and regulations: 9 million words and rising.

You just read. Newspapers and magazines and stuff. I was running out of reading material.

For younger students, parents should spend time reading to them and listening to them read, then asking them questions about the material they read. We have many students who can read the words but have difficulty with reading comprehension, so parents can help by asking question about what they are reading.

1. stock of words used by a person, class of people, profession, etc. Reading will increase your vocabulary. 2. a collection or list of words, usually in alphabetical order and defined.

The great writers -- Goethe, Shakespeare and others -- they layer depth of feeling into words. After exploring nature, then reading Whitman's words ... then I go back to my studio.

WORDS can confer strength; they can drain it off; Words can gain friends; they can turn them into enemies; words can elevate or lower the individual. One must learn the habit of making one's words sweet, soft, and pleasant.

This man was never in the car. There is absolutely not one shred of evidence that puts him in the car, except his own words. And can we believe his words?

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

I must not have done a good enough job myself preventing our guys from reading the newspapers and magazines. We were thinking we were a little further along or a better football team than we showed.
