Words - Shayna Daghigh

One day in class we spoke about neologism. In case you don’t remember what it means, it means making up a new word. I was then thinking if I made up a word, what word would that be? What would I make it mean? The fact that the word hasn’t been created yet the possibilities are endless, well unless it is a word that already exists. I think I would create a word that sounded funny. Something that once was said would make people laugh and say “excuse me?” Then you could spell the word however you like and claim it doesn’t sound like it is spelt. Now doing stuff like that might be kind of weird, but I’m just thinking about all the options. Although does the English language need another word? It already has so many. I think I’ve heard before that one of the reasons that English is so hard to learn is that we have so many words that mean the same thing. Then on that thought, do we already have words to describe everything and anything? Since beginning writing this blog, I still haven’t thought of a word. Maybe it’s because I haven’t narrowed the idea down to a topic. Maybe one day though a word will dawn on me.
