Wordsmith.org

Website Review by: Literary Magic Editor    


Wordsmith.org is the number one site for all wordsmiths around the world. You can view Listat, read the Word of the Day,
the newsletter or buy the books. You can also view the Archives page, which lists every word that was a Word of the Day since the site was found in 1994.
Wordsmith.org was founded and is run by Anu Garge, a known wordsmith worldwide. In fact, when you search in Wikipedia for Wordsmith , the page forwards to Any Garg's biography!
You can contribute to Wordsmith,org, whether it be monetarily (by giving a donation) or by contributing by being a guest wordsmith. To be a guest wordsmith, all you have to do is find a theme you like and write a week's worth of word articles for it. You can then send it to Anu Garg and see if you will become a guest wordsmith! Not only this, but you can also subscribe to Wordsmith.org's newsletter, which contains many "tidbits" and interesting facts about words and the English language.
Recent themes for words for Word of the Day on Wordsmith.org have been yiddish words and long words. The examples of the long words are too long to list here, but if anyone knows any long words, then please share it with us by writing a comment about this abstract and listing your word(s). Samples of the yidish words are maven and shlub . (A maven is someone who is an excpert at something).
So, whether you are a word maven or just love words and the English language, Wordsmith.org is a wonderful place to visit.
