I like some words not because of their meanings, or because they spark good memories but simply because they’re fun to spell.
Rendezvous is my number one favorite word to spell. I learned to spell it one day when I was stopped for a long traffic light behind a car, a Rendezvous.
Cacophony is another great word. The first time I saw this word in print I thought it was pronounced kack- a – phony.
Euthanasia took me a long time to find in the dictionary and I have a great story to go along with it.
Coyote is another fun word to know how to spell.
Aardvark I have a fun story for this one as well.
Llama any time we double the first letter of a word it’s delightful, wouldn’t you agree Aaron and Lloyd.
Glabrous is great because it’s so close to glamorous and all the bald guys I know love the word.
Exacerbate. I had to look this one up to understand what our former District Attorney was talking about. It was a fun trip to the dictionary. (No I wasn’t in trouble with the law).
Do any of my writer friends out there have words you love to put on a page because they are so much fun spell?
I can’t spell…so I don’t enjoy writing words because of how they are spelled. I like words because of how they sound, fit together, and feel in the mouth!
I’m a terrible speller too but Rendezvous also feels good coming out of the mouth too. Have a wonderful day. You make good a good point. Thanks.
Oh, yes! Discombobulated, which I get frequently!
Yes indeed!
