Words are fun. Words befuddle. Words make you go hmmm. Whether butchering a perfectly first-rate vocabulary for ohmygosh effect (e.g., Norm Crosby, George Bush); plying genius with our national pastime (e.g., Abbott and Costello with Who’s On First?); inspiring action and social consciousness (e.g., Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy); or spending considerably too much time thinking about words and expressions (e.g., George Carlin, Steven Wright), we are blessed with multitudes of memorable and thought-provoking communications throughout the ages.

Just for fun, at this link are snippets, anecdotes and other minutiae, including word-help links that play with your mind and may help your copy. For the most part, these inclusions make us smile and go hmmm … and we hope they do the same for you. If you find any such Hmmm word-occurrences or links in your day-to-day reading, please share them with us. We’d love to post them (and give you credit for the submission).
