The Lexicographer's Rules

I got married today. There is some language-related content to this post: she’s a linguist. And she makes me wax poetic. : )

Congrats Grant. Hope you have a wonderful life !
I’ve enjoyed reading your posts over the last six months.

Congratulations! I assume you two had the best vows ever.

Mazel tov!

Grant,
Are you sure you want to post your cell# and address so openly?
Best of luck.

Yes, having them in the open is fine. It allows the nutjobs and the wackos to reach me directly, instead of having to skulk about in the bushes.

Every good wish to you both! A few words you might enjoy:

What soul took thought and knew that adding “wo” to man would make a woman? The difference exactly.  The wide w.  The receptive o.  Womb…. Seven years since I wed wide warm woman, white thighed. Wooed and wed.  Wife. A knife of a word that for all its final bite did not end the wooing. To my wonderment.
