3. All the words in Jabberwocky 19 months ago

I would use up half of my 100 entries if I were to delineate all of them here. So, check out the full text.

A mere sampling:
  • frumious
  • gyre
  • wabe
  • chortled


2. Vim 19 months ago

Which really deserves to be used on its own without vigor sometimes.



1. Gumption 19 months ago

The OED sez:

“Common sense, mother wit, shrewdness. Also, initiative, enterprise, drive.”

Wondering if I can figure out how to work this into my cover letters or CV.
