The End of the Alphabet

Well that's it. I've reached the end of my ABC's. It's not a perfect list: I wasn't sure about Q, there aren't many X words to choose from, and Z is actually two words ... but it works for me. Every once in awhile I review my ABC's to see if they still resonate; and occasionally I'll swap in a new word for an old. If you make a list of your own ABC's, I don't think you'll find it was wasted time.

A sincere Thank You! to The Reader's Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, 1975 Edition - Eleventh Printing for providing the definitions. I think the most challenging part of this whole exercise was finding a couple of minutes each day in my chaotic life to post to Scarred Bark. Perhaps I should swap in discipline for duty.

Anyway, I'll end this post with the beginnings of a joke I've never been able to finish: "A neologist, an etymologist, and a lexicographer walk into a bar ... "

Let me know if you figure out a punch line.

P.S. Irony: The spell checker in Blogger thinks that neologist is not a word.
