Words to collect
And here - revealed exclusively on this web site. How to be a collector without spending money. You can collect all your favourites - give them away to those you love and end up better off yourself. The ultimate collectors item... Words.
This collection is thiking of turning itself into a book. I am collecting words on the edges of your vocabulary - that you would like to use but only half know. And I prefer postive words to negative ones as there are fewer of them. If you have one that you'd like to suggest - please email it to me and I shall add it with your initials - if that would please you. If it's a word that I think others may like too I'll put it in the book. xxx
The initials that appear after some of the words indicate that the preceding word has been donated.
Here are some to start you off... no charge.

I had intended to stop at 100 but those words just keep coming in and how could I not include 'triptych' or 'scrumptious' ? I suppose I'll stop eventually....
