for the love of words...

The Oxford English Dictionary has come up with a new way to preserve our dying language. Take a trip to "Save the Words" where you can interactively explore some of the many words near extinction. In an effort to preserve, the OED is challenging people to adopt a word if they can make this promise:

"I, Herby promise to use this word, in conversation and correspondence, as frequently as possible to the very best of my ability"

Happy wording!

bonjour et bienvenu!

so i've finally arrived here in Trois-Pistoles and everything is great... it's been a pretty intense first few dasys that have just whizzed by... so far so good... realized my french is absolute mierda but i'm also surprised that my mind is slowly adjusting to the language... i'm usually able to understand the gyst of things but responding is another story... damn spanish still keeps popping out! all in good time i suppose...


the no english rule hasn't been that bad so far so coping has been pretty easy... the laval tet is tomorrow and i shall see which path i am to take from here... hopefully the path to french 010, but i will accept whatever comes my way...

there are a lot of mexicans here which is kind of bizzare but also nice.... kind of makes me feel like i'm back in mexico again... maybe i will be able, at the very least, to improve my spanish if this french thing doesn't work out...
