Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  We've all had to try and make the best of a bad situation. And sometimes you have to take whatever kind of edge you can lay hands upon. In some cases, you might just need to be satisfied with the fact that you not only know how screwed you are but you can express it fully and intelligently. So yes, even when something important is broken, it's good to have some words at your disposal. And we just so happen to know a man who's in the business of word delivery. Without further ado, it's Aaron Poole! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you're trying to give your Siri a run for her/its money! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free. We hope you will join Aaron as he slaloms down the slope of ignorance using the skis of knowledge, all while restricting heat loss via the skull with the toboggan of language.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Words are like alcohol. Think of the words you use everyday as your regular, workaday ale or glass of wine. And there's nothing wrong with that--it's comforting, in fact. However, every once in a while, it's time for something special: a vintage whiskey or a top shelf cocktail. Think of Aaron Poole as your bartender of verbiage. He can pull one of those Cocktail flip-things and have a nice chilled glass of new vocabulary in your hand faster than you can say Yakov Smirnoff. So get Aaron to pour you on a double on the rocks! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation!

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Are you in the dark when it comes to language? There's no shame in that.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. There are those who say that the use of profanity is a clear sign of someone who has a lack of language skills. There are those who say that profanity is merely fun and, yes, sometimes therapeutic. Around here, we tend to think you can have the best of both worlds. It's important to be able to curse properly and yet have an arsenal of words to draw from when the situation calls for it. And when it comes to words as weapons, your verbal Deathstroke the Terminator is Aaron Poole. When you need to lay down some suppressive linguistic fire, he's got Ol' Painless ready and willing. So welcome him to your army! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you're trying to come up with a name for a new car you've designed!

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. The Oxford English Dictionary will eventually become so large that it knocks the Earth out of its proper orbit. There's no need to concern yourself--it can't be stopped. What you can concern yourself with, however, is enjoying the language as best you can until the world ends. And because there are so many words out there, it's just not possible to keep them all in your head. Enter Aaron Poole. Consider him your USB Stick of Verbiage--a resource to be drawn upon when you need that special word to convey how you truly feel. And here he is now. Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you're trying to remake the movie Dead Ringers! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook!

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. The comic book villain Bullseye could take out someone from across the street using just a paper clip. Which is impressive, yes. But without words, how could I have conveyed that notion to you? Mime? Charades? An extremely long rebus? No. We need language. After all, scientists now speculate that the Neanderthal died out because they were, in essence, trying to play Pictionary against time for important bits of communcation like "Oh crap, there's a lion right behind you." But Aaron is like Bullseye but with language. His word selection never misses and--bonus--can take down a ceramic bull elephant at fifty yard. So make sure he's on your team! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you're trying to name your new ska-zydeco band! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free. We hope you will join Aaron as he sheds the chains of ignorance while exercising the skill that is knowledge, using that-headdress-Storm-used-to-wear-that-had-the-lockpicking-kid-inside...that is Language.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Are you dragged down by workaday concerns and worries? Maybe you need to scale back and get some easy wins. Like having a "100 Words to Work Gracefully Into Conversation Before I Die" list, for example. Sure, you want some in there like "Autotonsorialist" (not as perverted as it sounds) or "Mallemaroking" (Hint: Rox has probably done this) but you want reasonably easy wins, yes? Look to Aaron Poole, wordsmith, for the answer. Sure he's got thirty-seven done...but that's thirty-seven you don't need to track down. He's saving you time...and effort. Get on board! So fear not! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you're trying to name your new ska-zydeco band! You can even use it on Twitter and Facebook! And the best part is: this word is free for you to use and share! It is guaranteed DRM-free. We hope you will join Aaron as he vivisects the frog of ignorance while it's mounted on the foamboard of knowledge, using the razor sharp instrument...that is Language. Categorized as: Word-a-Week

Who has time to seek out the frontiers of the English language? Well, just like in the good old days where explorers who had ego problems and a death wish decided to head to terra incognita while the rest of society went about their business...you can deal with your day-to-day existence and let the intrepid Aaron Poole head out to lingua incognita and bring you back nifty new things to say.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Words. There's a lot of them. So many that it's easy to get so flustered you can't tell your homonym from your homo superior. But if you find yourself lost and in need of the linguistic equivalent of moss on the north side of a tree, then fear not: Aaron Poole is here. And he is to language what Bear Grylls is to stomping around in the underbrush and looking unclean. Aaron will give you the canteen of knowledge and keep you alive when all seems lost. So! Accept no substitutes! This word is one you can use! In conversation! When you're trying to finish the creation of your latest diabolical crossword puzzle!
