The word of the day for November 20, 2012: RECEIVED.

Most people (and possibly some of Old Macdonald’s farm animals*) are familiar with the “I before E except after C” rule. But what’s with words like leisure, seizure, weigh, and neighbor? Seriously, what’s with you words? If any of you words happen to […]

Decadent

On November 18, 2012 By

Ten years ago today, oneword™ flickered to life. Since then we have illuminated the lives of tens of thousands of writers (or at least helped to free them from a bout or two of writer’s block).

As I wrote a few months back, oneword™’s very first word (or lack thereof) was “astroturf.” Here are […]

Turning Water into Vodka

On May 25, 2011 By

“Vodka.”

That was the word of the day when our would-be friends at Christian Creativityhappened upon our site. And just because they don’t recommend our non-denominational site, doesn’t mean we don’t wholeheartedly recommend their site to any and all creative Christians out there.

For the record, since its inception eight years ago, oneword™ has […]
