Word
Today on dictionary.com the word of the day is bedizen. I have never heard this word in context. Ever. For those of you, like m e, who did not know what it means, the definition is To dress or adorn in gaudy manner. The word makes me think of really big earings, bangles, and flashy necklace; so basically big jewlry. However, I do not like the word gaudy. I think it has a bad tone to it, and the word really has a neautral connotation. Gaudy can big good if it is stylish, but also gaudy can look tacky. I really am not a critic of words, but I do think some are really pretty and meaningful with out even knowing the definition. Pure is a really good word, it has a nice ring to it. I’m sure everyone knows what pure means, so just by hearing the word it has a clean aura when when people say it. I also really like the word sound, or sounds. I love hearing that word because when I think of sounds I think of joyful noise and happy music. Even though sounds can be scary or terrible sometimes. A word that I really hate is nostalgic. I think it looks ugly, I do not like the meaning of it, and I really do not live saying it.

I'd never heard of that word before either.
You're like me in thinking about word sounds. Just a few minutes ago, I was actually thinking about how I always try to pronounce those security "word" things that web sites now have to prevent anonymous comments/posts. I wondered if anyone else ever thought about that.
By the way, the word below looks Chinese or something j's and x's and c's and z's. I have no idea how I'd say it out loud, but I can sort of hear it in my mind.
Okay, enough geeking out. Sorry.
