EDIT : THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE REBOOTED A PHOTO. HOWEVER THIS PHOTO HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROJECT AND HAS NOW REACHED 200 COMMENTS, MANY OF WHICH YOU HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO. SO I THOUGHT I'D LEAVE IT AT THE TOP OF THE PILE AS I AM AWAY FOR ONE WEEK AS OF TUESDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER. SO ENJOY THE UPDATED WORDING AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PILFERED FROM YOUR ASSORTED PHOTO STREAMS AND COMMENTS!

 

Many of you who hang around the back of flickr's bike sheds love language as much as I do. However, I've never been too keen on the so-called correctness of commas etc because today's correctness may have been yesterday's or tomorrow's four-out-of-ten....try harder. The English language is an evolving organism, always changing, pulsating, upsetting, but always allowing for creativity and always interesting to read, to hear.

 

Your evidence from flickr is that playing with words and tinkering with phrases is fun. You rebirth old words; build new words and phraseology and often nail an unexpected juxtaposition of letters that says it all.

 

An idea has been smouldering for some time now around "word of the day" Its time to bring it out of incubation and award it the status of its very own 'set' so allow ease of access for months to come. Your wording and phrasing efforts will be scavenged forthwith. Below are some recent highlights. More will be added as time tick-tocks by. Some below are explained in the comments boxes. Some are self-explanatory. Some just look and sound right, so in they went!!
