Created by Michael Quinion, a freelance wordsmith and researcher into new words for Oxford Dictionaries, this site focuses on the history of the English language and the development of new words. Each week, users will find definitions and histories of words and phrases both old and new. This week's offerings include "upskilling," "abracadabra," "wormwood," and "wassail." In addition, the site contains numerous short articles on various aspects of the language, book reviews, usage notes (Data is or Data are?), and a phonetic key. Users can also subscribe to a newsletter containing each week's updates. Back issues are available in .zip format.
