Oh yes, the intractable word nerd must begin her debut blog with a dictionary definition, for after all, the dictionary is her most favouritest book in the whole wide world!

I do recall that the vast majority of high school papers and reports I composed began with a dictionary definition of the topic in question. By the time I reached college my introductory repertoire had increased slightly - I had added the time-honoured tradition of beginning with a grandiloquent exposition, a lofty missive, verbose palaver...

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, blind them with bullshit". My father, circa. all my life.

As a linguistics student and self-identified word nerd with an interest in computers and many things geek, I thought it high time I began my own blog. So here 'tis. I have nebulous ideas regarding potential graduate work in computers and linguistics and this shall be my medium for tracking such ideas. I shall also post whatever the heck I feel like at any given time, including personal interests such as my band, step-parenting, post-modern feminism, old-school VW Beetles, and of course, word antics (a general term referring to all things that tickle my language funny bone, such as www.engrish.com and http://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/language/analogies.html).

So, to answer the pressing question in the title of this, my very first blog post:

I shall blog. (Standard British English)
I be bloggin'. (African American Vernacular English)
Please to blog me. (learner English)
All your blog are belong to us. (geek English)
Blog on! (rocker English)
