'Re:' in emails isn't an abbreviation of a word like 'regarding', at least in terms of etymology. It's actually a sneaky Latin word - namely rē, ablative singular of rēs, meaning 'thing, matter'. This is the same Latin word that's given English 'real', 'realise' and 'republic'.

Word of the day is the German ‘Verschlimmbesserung’: an attempted improvement that only makes matters worse. If you’re looking for a more pronounceable English equivalent, to ‘arsle’ is to shuffle inevitably backwards.

My regular reminder that a 'mumpsimus' (16th century) is one who obstinately sticks to their opinion despite clear evidence that they are wrong.

I like the notion that’s coming out of this morning’s translation slam at Translate Online: Don’t try to set off fireworks with every sentence. Use simple words. Say things simply. The reader will thank you. #tol2021 #otel2021

Love this kind of fact. Also: 'lb', a pound, is an abbreviation of 'libra', a Roman unit of weight (hence the scales in the sign of the Zodiac). The £ sign is 'L' for 'libra' and crossbars to indicate an abbreviation (the first monetary pound was a pound weight of silver).

A ‘fit of the clevers’: 19th-century Scots for a sudden and necessary burst of activity, as when you realise you’ve spent most of the day in a daze.
