This is a pretty good idea man! I fail at organization. Often I just do whatever and put everything off until it chokes the life out of me. So this will hopefully help me move forward a little!

Adam,

Thanks for the links. Best wishes on your book.

I have already started working on a new list of words I have come across in my reading. It never ends, I hope!

Dear Sir

I wondered if you might like a mutual link to both my Foreign word site and my English word website or press release details of my ensuing book with Penguin Press on amusing and interesting English vocabulary?

or wish to include:

1) TINGO
When photographers attempt to bring out our smiling faces by asking us
to “Say Cheese”, many countries appear to follow suit with English
equivalents. In Spanish however they say patata (potato), in Argentinian Spanish whisky, in French steak frites, in Serbia ptica (bird) and in
Danish appelsin (orange). Do you know of any other varieties from around the world’s languages? See more on http://www.themeaningoftingo.com

2) WHIFFLING

The Wonder of Whiffling is a tour of English around the globe (with fine
coinages from our English-speaking cousins across the pond, Down Under
and elsewhere).
Discover all sorts of words you’ve always wished existed but never knew,
such as fornale, to spend one’s money before it has been earned; cagg, a solemn vow or resolution not to get drunk for a certain time; and
petrichor, the pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a
dry spell.
Delving passionately into the English language, I also discover why it
is you wouldn’t want to have dinner with a vice admiral of the narrow
seas, why Jacobites toasted the little gentleman in black velvet, and
why a Nottingham Goodnight is better than one from anywhere else. See

I stand corrected, at least in word usage!

Not to be picky but… if the show as in serial form it would take the form of multiple self-contained stories, per season, split into multiple episodes.

Since the show takes the form of a cross-seasonal story arc split into multiple episodes it is actually in series form…
