[oliviaslies]

What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?

I've always loved the word 'gusset' simply because it's such a ridiculous-sounding word, and it invariably makes me grin. Likewise 'nadgers', 'plinth', and 'kumquat'.
least favourite word is probably 'awesome' becuase I use it far too much in conversation, catch myself doing, but am still unable to stop even though it pisses me off...

hahaha what does gusset even mean? are you british or european of some sort because everything you say you seem to spell with an accent? lol

The Britishness of me, and the meaning of the word 'gusset'

Curses, rumbled again! Yep, I'm British 9although that's not neccessarrily to blame for my pretentious writing style - many Brits are concise and to the point and everything, and many foreigners are almost as annoyingly long-winded as me

Sorry for all the typo's and spelling errors. It's very late, and my brain's gone runny...

I love the words aleatoric and serendipity. Both kind of explain who I am.
