I am currently reading a book on eponyms and word meanings - it is fascinating. I did not know before that laconic (of few words) is derived from Laconia, an ancient Greek state renouned for its Spartan living. Do any other people share this interest? I just love finding the origins of words.
Yes, I love all of this. I am fascinated by language. I studied English and Creative Writing for my bachelors degree.
I love thinking also about the mechanics of how sound is formed. It is all fascinating.
Both my dad and step-dad are also involved in language, my dad is a retired English teacher who now still gets some income from freelance editing and proofreading, and my Step-dad is also a retired teacher, mostly of English to people speaking it as a foreign language, and speaks about half a dozen languages.
