the power of words tag

  1. Thank the person who nominated you and give a link to their blog (optional: give them a waffle for tagging you!) THANK YOU FOR TAGGING ME, ABBIE. A SHIPMENT OF WAFFLES IS OBVIOUSLY ON ITS WAY TO YOU RIGHT NOW.
  2. Answer the original 6 text-themed questions
  3. Add a typography/word related question of your own for those you tagged to answer
  4. Tag 6+ bloggers and let them know (via their blogs, social media, whatev)
  5. Include these rules in your post. I almost was a rebel and didn't follow this one, but.



/ FAVORITE LETTER OF THE ALPHABET /
Wow. I'm not sure if you actually know how possible it is to overthink this question. I've been thinking about it for like a day. I think it's W. I've always liked double u he always seemed like a little misfit. Cutie. At the same time though, in all actuality, deep down my favorite is probably I, because I use it 24/7 and unfortunately am constantly focused on myself. But I like W better.
/ THREE WORDS THAT YOU LOVE /
Cerulean (shout out to Cally the babe for this one). Celestial. Cadence. I ONLY DID C WORDS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY WORDS THAT I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
/ THREE WORDS THAT YOU HATE /
Mediocre. Acrimonious. (ok I actually like that one- I just wanted to include it). Flabby. STAP.
/ IF YOU WERE TO CREATE A WORD, WHAT IT WOULD BE + DESCRIBE /
This is so deep. Wow. Okay, so I have a page in one of my writing notebooks and for the name of a sorcerer I was looking up elvish words for darkness, cold, soul, and whatnot, as one does, and I came up with the name Morchant. It means shadow, but it's a combination of the words morn:dark and cant:shadow. Since that's a word I've already come up with and had written down, there you go. And, obviously, it wouldn't be used as a name.

/ THREE FAVORITE PUNCTUATION MARKS /
. : !

/ THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE FONTS /
Y'all. I don't do fonts. I'm too technologically challenged to figure out my fonts, although I will on occasion drool over other peoples vast array of fonts.  *muffled cries*

/ ONE WORD THAT MEANS A LOT TO YOU /
Nostalgia and gentle and cancer. And yeah. I did three.

/ IF YOU COULD CHANGE THE WAY ONE WORD SOUNDED WHICH WOULD IT BE AND HOW WOULD IT SOUND /
 You know that country Qatar? How about it be pronounced how it looks, mkay? Apparently, it's pronounced Cudder. (?!?!?!?!) Unacceptable. It should be pronounced KA TAR or KAY TAR. I'm fully aware that there are more pressing words that I would like to change pronunciations for, but oh well. I'll think of them later and get upset. 
/ MY QUESTION FOR YOU: FAVORITE WORD THAT STARTS WITH THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR NAME /


/ TAGS /

If some of you don't do tags, I guess that's too bad. You'll have to do it anyway. 
PS I also like the word melodramatic.

    I have no idea if I've ever commented on your blog before (I can't remember) but I've been reading your blog for like ever and I adore it and I adore you! *hands out waffles*

    OHMIGOSH Qatar what I have been pronouncing it wrong all my life my geography teacher says Kay-tar wait until I tell her she's wrong WHY ISN'T THE WORLD BURNING

    Also high five fellow font-less blogger. I constantly be jealous of other wonderful arrays of fonts bloggers use (Looking at you, Abbiee and Katie) But noooo. Technology is not my forte.

    There's a wonderful word. Forte! Much love for that word. *more waffles because words*

    huh, i never you knew that's how you're supposed to say "Quatar"...I always said it wayy differently. BUT I AGREE WITH YOU that it should be spelled differently. I don't know, it just doesn't look the way you say it (hi english language). xD ALSO RIGHT I don't do fonts...like...at ALL. I don't understand them and they don't me. So we're good.

  11. hiabdiwg;jrge OK OK OK THE PRESSURE IS REAL NOW BECAUSE YOU AND ABBIE BOTH TAGGED ME *keeping it together, keeping it together*

    YOUR FAVORITE LETTER. that was the best response ever. and this sentence is almost a rhyme.

    I also am troubled by countries with names that look like "oiu" yet are pronounced "ZEE-TAA-SE-TENN-DOO-REE-LAA" it's like...why. WHYYYY?!! WHY DO YOU HURT MY BRAIN? MY BRAIN IS HURTING AND YOU SIT THERE AND DO NOT CARE.

    and on fonts, I feel. I need like two cups of coffee to be able to handle Times New Roman, otherwise known as default. XD

  16. WORDSSSSSS!!!

    I definitely understand overthinking the favorite letter question. I kinda freaked out when I saw that question. And "C" words! I make up special meanings for the names of my characters too! My favorite is the villain, Pravus. Which means something like darkness or something evil like that.

    And I feel you on the fonts. I love looking at other people's fonts, but... they can cost money. And my dad doesn't like me getting the free ones because they can carry viruses. IM SO STUCK PLEASE HELP!!! We should start technology-illiterate anonymous or something.

    "Hello, my name is Hannah and I couldn't buy a font today."

  17. I LOVE WORDS AND THIS IS FANTASTIC. And also two of my favourite words are "copy" and "pocket" ... for no reason except I like how they sound. And honestly I put the word "pocket" into my writing SO MUCH just because I like it. XD Omg I have problems....ahhhhem.
    Also can I just say that this post LOOKS REALLY BEAUTIFUL?!? Your blog is always so aesthetically pleasing. <33 I shall just stare at it now. And also nod in agreement that Cerulean is a fabulous word even though I think I would probably fail and die if I tried to spell it without spellcheck. (Spellcheck, omg, my true love, I would be lost without it.)

  18. This is such an interesting tag and was so much fun to read!! :)

  19. I PRONOUNCE QATAR "KUH-TAR" AND I DAR ANYONE TO TELL ME TO PRONOUNCE IT CUDDER. Ew. It sound like a cross between cuddle and udder. Which is udder-ly gross, amiright?
    MY LEAST FAVORITE WORD OF EVER IS PUMICE. I mean just say it . . . EW. It makes me cringe!
    I love this tag by the way. So ingenious!

    ReplyDelete
  20. eVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST IS MAKING ME CRACK UP FOR SOME REASON ((and it's only noon i'm not even sleep deprived tsk HAHA))

    MY LEAST FAVOURITE WORD (coincidentally or not) IS UDDER. it makes me shudder (HA) but seriously it sounds so weird and jUST no. i think it's so funny to see what kinds of word people dislike and they actually have a reason for it. i mean, that's bloggers i suppose ;-) we have our favourite letters that remind us of misfits and we think they're cute HAHA

    love this post xx
