Prelude To An Explanation of The Origin of Words…

I promised one of our regular readers that I'd explain how I think Real Words are produced in our minds and then begin the journey to other minds through what most people think are real words << those symbols that exist on screens and pages but aren't Real Words…

As fate would have it, my plan got altered–I needed to do some research and the tabs at the top of this blog needed reorganization.

So, as a beginning to tomorrow's post about the journeys Real Words make, I should point out that I'm not going to be talking about the origins of English words in other and older languages–that's something you can explore with this cool Online Etymology Dictionary.

A related site that includes a forum to discuss words and their histories is Wordwizard.

What I'll be starting tomorrow is a description of the origin of words before they end up being in languages–the rock-bottom, primal dwelling place of Real Words…
