<![CDATA[<p>The study of words over a lifetime normally allows for a lively conversation among persons of similar interests in word mastery. We humans rely on words to communicate our needs and desires within the confines of like speaking communities. The better understanding we have regarding the words we select to use during the times we need to use them, will improve the chance our requests are granted without miscommunication.</p>
<p>On the Internet there are thousands of wonderful websites that celebrate the history of words and illustrating the brilliance that words create when used correctly. After careful consideration I have found these websites perfect for people who desire deeper understanding of the words the world uses everyday or sometimes-in rare circumstances.</p>
 
<ol><li><h3><a href="http://www.extelligence.co.uk/dictionary" target="_blank">Extelligence</a></h3>
 
Discover new words that are rarely used in the world and are archaic and creative when used correctly. Extelligence is an archaic and creative online dictionary that broadens that vocabulary universe.
 
</li><li><h3><a href="http://www.chinapage.com/word/chineseword.html" target="_blank">China Page</a></h3>
 
The Chinese language is one of the oldest languages in the world and an art form to write. The Chinese vocabulary consists of uniquely written characters that have the appearance of fine art that has successfully reached deeper in the soul than any other language has managed to evolve. Prepare to introduce yourself to the Chinese language and the beauty laying within its meaning.
 
</li><li><h3><a href="http://www.lyricsandsongs.com" target="_blank">Lyrics and Songs</a></h3>
 
In my opinion, songwriters have mastered the way that the world expresses one's self through the clever construction of grouping the words that are used writing a song. A lot can be learned reading through song lyrics, but if that is not your thing, then you can locate the lyrics to your favorite songs, so that you may follow along with the musicians that perform the songs.
</li><li><h3><a href="http://www.waywordradio.org" target="_blank">A Way with Words</a></h3>
Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett, are the host of the public radio's lively language show. The English language is the focus of the show's core audience and the two knowledge hosts take calls from their listeners about linguistic disputes, grammatical pet peeves, the origins of words and phrases, and curious regional expressions.
</li><li><h3><a href="http://www.rinkworks.com/words" target="_blank">Fun with Words</a></h3>
 
As beautiful as the English language is, it also can be quite fun to toy with the words that we use everyday. Dive in headfirst and start having some light-hearted fun with the words that pour from your mouth daily. This website offers a comprehensive selection of word activities and in-depth study of individual letter groupings to wordplay not commonly exercised in everyday conversation.

<title>The World Without Writers</title>
<link>http://www.writinghood.com/Writing/The-World-Without-Writers.72435</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>
 Everyday, people all over the world spend millions, billions or is it trillions on movies, books, magazines, greeting cards, newspapers and compact discs. People are after you. You, the writer! It’s been said that money makes the world go around but, I say without your hard work and dedication there would be much less to spend money on.  Your work is what makes the world go around.  
</p><p>
     Most forms of entertainment and leisure activities that we enjoy as humans involve words. Your favorite movie most likely wouldn’t be your favorite movie if there wasn’t a script. Simply a long, drawn out pantomime.  Every song on the radio would be an instrumental if there wasn’t anyone to write those hit lyrics. Bookstores would go out of business if it wasn’t for you-the writer.  Greeting cards, newspapers and magazines. 
</p><p>

 Well, what are those?  The world wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for writers. Now, imagine if only artist and photographers were responsible for creating textbooks for schools (without writers). That would be interesting.  We’d no longer have textbooks, they would all be picture books.  The world without writers. Try to imagine that!  
</p>

<p>
     If money makes the world go around, we should be getting paid more to keep it spinning, or should I say spending?  Stop and think for a moment, if every writer laid down their pen (my writing instrument of choice) and refused to write another sentence for a year. What would happen? It’s a good thing that we love what we do enough to share our thoughts and ideas without expecting too much.  We are certainly underpaid. 
</p>

<p>
     Writers around the world, thank you for doing what you do! Thank you for the scripts, greeting cards, novels, lyrics, directions on products, magazines and newspaper articles and articles published on

. I’m not sure what I would do without you all.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.writinghood.com%2FWriting%2FThe-World-Without-Writers.72435"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.writinghood.com%2FWriting%2FThe-World-Without-Writers.72435" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
