Dr. Grammar - Fun with Words

Richard Lederer's Verbivore web site says the following of itself: "Welcome to the web site woven for wordaholics, logolepts, and verbivores. Carnivores eat meat; herbivores eat plants and vegetables; verbivores devour words. If you are heels over head (as well as head over heels) in love with words, tarry here awhile to graze or, perhaps, feast on the English language." Tarry at Lederer's site, the first listed below, but graze among the others for word and phrase origins, language problems, word games, word oddities, and discussions of words in the news. There is only one rule, rule 35, HAVE FUN.
