I was thinking the other day about non-words.
You know, words that sound like other words, but actually aren't.
Like,"supposibly"? That's a pretty common one.
And there are "punkins" at Hallowe'en and "sammiches" when you're hungry.
You know, non-words!
What are your favourites?

Well, 'irregardless' is a particularly irritating one..
I love this. Since becoming a blogger, I've had a tendency to incorporate the word blog into everything, ie "blogtastic", blogify, etc. Non-words are a fun time!
Irregardless of what Dominic? ;)
Ooooh, blogify, that's a good one Jillian! :D
Making up words is fine (moovie, for example) but using words which you think are real but should know better drives me nuts! Prolly. I hate when people write prolly. I hate when they say it too.
Oh, I forgot about prolly! Heh.
You can combine them too - I jus finishd nommin my sammich.
I love fantabulous :)It's the best nonword word I know.
Fantabulous! :D
I love your blog! How about "guestimate". :)
That's totally a word... isn't it???? ;)
