Inspired by the ‘what words do you hate’ thread...

I love; clandestine, sempiternal, wanderlust and epicaricacy.

Don't know why, just love the word Grin

Almondio · 03/12/2018 21:52

Does anyone else feel a huge amount of joy when they see a beautiful word? For me, it's like seeing a gorgeous landscape, or work of art.

I've always loved words but it's only now in my 40s that I realise how genuinely happy beautiful words make me Grin!
