World Wide Words
Submitted by Maggie Harnew on 19 February 2011.
World Wide Words is amazing site about ‘International English from a British Point of View’. Histories of words and phrases, weird words and topical words. Warning! You could spend hours on this site.
The author and site owner, Michael Quinion, retired from writing the site in 2017 but it really is a goldmine! If you are a word fanatic look at his equally fascinating site Affixes: the building blocks of English.
