A Foot and A Half Too Long Words, mainly about words. But also about other things. Intersections of culture, language, and politics.

Sometimes Applicable Quote:

"What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way about. In prose, the worst thing you can do with words is to surrender them."
-George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language," Page 18

Words!

I keep coming across some interesting etymological tid-bits. You’ll find those here, along with a bunch of other cultural and political quips and observations.
