I always liked to read something online. There are plenty of resources online available like News articles, Discussion forum threads, Blogs etc which I wanted to go through. I accept the fact that I am little handicapped in expressing myself clearly. Obviously that is the reason I started blogging to improve my English. But lack of time, resources & interest will always comes into play.
Today I have started going through one of the discussion forum threads available online, thats when I have realised how texting and online chating have spoiled us to shorten the sentences and words. e.g fine ~fyn, How are you? ~ h r u?, brb~Be Right Back etc.
Also I came across below words which I would like to share, curious to know the meaning of the words for which the meaning is missing.
* Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (noun) - the fear of long words.
* floccinaucinihilipilification- the categorizing of something as worthless.
* Coccidioidomycosis (also known as Valley fever) - a fungal disease
* funiculi-funicular
* spondulicks
* ignoranus - a person who is both stupid and an a--hole
* phantasmagorical
* flabbergasted
* argy-bargy
* Willy-Nilly
* soliloquey
* Haberdashery
Need to find the meaning of the remaining words.
Thanks!!
