Site of the Day for Thursday, July 19, 2001 "The Word Detective" "Flummoxed by Flabbergast? Perplexed by Pandemonium? Nonplussed by ... Nonplussed? Annoyed by Alliteration? The Word Detective on the Web is the online version of The Word Detective, a newspaper column answering readers' questions about words and language. The Word Detective is written by Evan Morris and appears in finer newspapers in the U.S., Mexico and Japan." - from the website If your local rag is not one of the "finer newspapers" then you probably don't receive "The Word Detective", which would be shame except for the fact that this delightful newspaper column is available online. With archives dating back to 1995, there is a wealth of witty and enlightening information on words, their origins and usage. The site is updated on a monthly basis and deserves a space in everyone's favourite bookmarks. http://www.word-detective.com/ A.M.
