Gulp! A Wise Brit Wordsmith

 Knowing that English is a world-wide language, the #GrammarAnarchist focuses on U.S. language, which has its own idiosyncrasies. As a word person, I couldn’t resist taking a peek at what is going on here. You may enjoy it too. Check out http://www.worldwidewords.org/ You'll find this:
About World Wide Words
The English language is forever changing. New words appear; old ones fall out of use or change their meanings. World Wide Words tries to record at least some part of this shifting wordscape by featuring new words, word histories, the background to words in the news, and the curiosities of native English speech.
You can receive free weekly issues of the e-zine that includes “discussions by readers, serendipitous encounters with unfamiliar language, and tongue-in-cheek tut-tuttings at errors perpetrated by sloppy writers”.
