Even though working with words can be difficult, that doesn't mean it can't also be fun. 

We would like to offer some enjoyable distractions.

 

 

First, we encourage you to try our word quiz. The current quiz requires you to guess the linguistic derivation of a dozen words that have found common usage in English. You can get to the quiz by clicking "Word Quiz" on the menu above, or simply clicking here.

We will be giving away a prize for the submission with the most correct answers. Good luck!

 

 

Next, feel free to browse through our own bookshelf and some suggestions for recommended reading. These are a little less dry than our own reference library. So enjoy!
