Few things amuse and appeal as much as the abuse, misuse, mistranslation and outright mangling of the English language. Many newspapers run weekly features inviting members of the public to send in photographs of menus, health and safety warnings, road signs, adverts, headlines and personals columns - anything in which the language has gone egregiously, hilariously and, usually, unintentionally wrong.
Well, this sign is a candidate being a casualty of its own message!

A language is democracy in action. If you coin a word, you can use it, in your texting, love letters, PhD thesis, even in office memos.
Sure, there are some “dictatorships” in the language world, but they don’t work well. There are language academies policing what words can and cannot be used, prescribing native* words over those adopted from other languages, but people pay as much attention to them as teenagers to moms.
A language, like a relationship, works better when it grows organically, not straitjacketed by rules and conditions. Language and its speakers do what they want to do -- no one else need have a say in it.
So how do you go about coining a word? You can coin a completely made-up word or you can use existing components -- combining forms -- to assemble a new word.
What are combining forms? You can think of them as Lego (from Danish, leg: play + godt: well) bricks of language. As the term indicates, a combining form is a linguistic atom that occurs only in combination with some other form which could be a word, another combining form, or an affix (unlike a combining form, an affix can’t attach to another affix).
This week we’ve gathered these 10 combining forms and will feature five words made from them:
litho- (stone), aischro- (shameful or ugly), heno- (one), hypo- (under), gerat- (old age)
and
-phone (sound), -latreia (worship), -theism (belief in god), -nym (name), and -logy (study).
What words can you come up with and how would you define them? There 5x5 = 25 total possibilities. Share them below or email words@wordsmith.org.
Today's word is lithophone, which comes from Greek litho- (stone) + -phone (sound). If you have been thinking about starting a rock band, well, this is one way to go about it!
*The word “native” doesn’t mean much for a living language. All languages borrow from each other and that’s one of the ways they grow. The one that doesn’t is a dead language.

Two languages for the win. LOL.
Today was a rainy one. The clouds built up and then released in a great swell. I love the rain. Garbage said it best, "I'm only happy when it rains!" I ended up going out today to look for a new mattress. I've been complaining a lot of back pain and I find myself tossing and turning non stop and not ever getting a full solid good nights rest, so to the mattress shops I went.
It was soooo awkward having some random sales guy (by the way, I'm convinced they don't hire women to sell mattresses b/c I've yet to ever see one doing it) just standing over you while you lie down and wriggle around trying to get comfortable on something you plan on sleeping on for a long time. This sales guy just hovered. It was annoying. In my head I kept thinking, how can I adequately roll around on this thing with you just staring at me like you've just seen a monkey at the Deli serving sandwiches? I didn't find anything on the sales floor which was completely empty of any other life form, so as I was getting up to leave, he says, oh wait, lets check out the Bargain Basement. Now...I'd been staring at this...how shall I describe the glory that it was...this light up theater sign with two B's on it in between bed rollings around for quite some time. Apparently the BB meant Bargain basement. So we go through the flashing theater lights door and up..yes...up a ramp to the basement. Um, don't basements usually go down I said...he said, yeah, well, you know, this is just part of the advertisement. So up we go into the "basement" which should have been the attic and its like a whole other store, except one with creeper lighting, no air conditioning, and I couldn't even make this one up...alligator skulls, empty gas cans, and hanging dolls chained to the roof. Um..vaffanculo!....we then of course go to the furthest darkest creepiest section of the basement (attic) and find one mattress which actually felt pretty good, but others in my mattress hunting party suggested I not buy it b/c of the no return policy.
I decided right then and there without hesitation that there is some place worse than working at the DMV and thy name is the furniture store. Day after day spent with overweight indecisive housewives and their fussy husbands trying to decide on whether they need a bed with two inch risers or one or the men who try and haggle the bargain basement "attic" prices which are non-haggleable, or the kids who enter the store with their laissez faire parents who let them run wild in the store and then leave quickly once Jr. and Judas have broken a couple nightstands and popped the springs on a mattress with their superman antics. Oh gawd, if I ever end up selling furniture, make sure one of those alligator skulls falls from the ceiling and crushes me.
Store number 2. I found a mattress but its price did not find me. It was almost triple what we wanted to spend. Of course you are. Vaffanculo!
Store number 3: where are you? We drove round and round and couldn't find it. I had GPS, but some people would like to believe that they still know how to use a map in 2012. Couldn't wait to prove that one wrong could you? If we'd used GPS we would have made it but have it your way Navigator. Vaffanculo!

Here's an old snapshot from my days in the Interpreter Training Program in Seattle. From left to right, Sharon, Nikki, Debbie one of our fantastic instructors who is Deaf of a Deaf family, and me being playful on the end. I absolutely loved ITP, all FOUR years of it, and sign language interpreting. Because of Debbie and the school I'll always have a connection with the Deaf World. There was so much love in our class, I really cherished that time together.
My connections run deep. I'm already getting involved in the Slovenian deaf community, learning their sign, making friends, and now suddenly helping them with some political advocacy! What next?

Garden Design for All-Rise
Seattle, WA 2014-2015
The garden design for All-Rise is taken from a series of painted pattern studies drawn from my research of historic and modern international global trade. The geometric edges of the design will soften and evolve as it grows just as the systems of trade metamorphose over time. The garden links my research of Northeast labor and trade in the Industrial Era with the contemporary global trade of the Northwest. The title comes from the number of miles between Seattle and New York City.
Over the last several years I have spent time in ports along the Hudson River, studying the history of commerce between the United States and Latin America, particularly the Caribbean. At the same time, I was traveling between my home in Brooklyn and Seattle as a freelance worker for a global technology company.
During this time, I began working with materials that have fallen out of the modern production stream including mis-mixed paint, retired sails, and dead stock metallic thread. The resulting work is a metaphor for the system of global trade; a language cobbled together from the excess of our modern system of production.

Pottery is my favorite form of relaxation. I'm always trying to improve and make more difficult pieces, but I never have to worry about mistakes as they often lead to some of my favorite creations. My art is a reflection of the joy I get from creating it, and I hope to share that feeling with you.
