@26characters My current favourite is ‘feefle’ which is one of 421 Scottish words for snow. Specifically to swirl. Others include flindrikin - slight snow shower - spitters - small drops of flakes of wind-driven snow - and snaw-pouther - fine driving snow. ❄️
Continuing yesterday's lost words theme, this Yorkshire dialect dictionary sounds glorious. You can track a location's relationship with things like landscape and industry through its #words. We'd love to hear your favourite dialect words https://t.co/TeCpwckWEg #ThursdayThoughts
This is your reminder that it's never to late to write a book. There is no expiration date stamped on you or your story. Every day is a chance to start something new. Think of where you could be in three months, in a year. Why not start today and see where it goes?
Language, like nature, flows and adapts, but sometimes it needs a helping hand. And what remarkable hands continue to help spread the beauty of @RobGMacfarlane and @JackieMorrisArt's wonderful The Lost Words. Suspect these performances will be magical https://t.co/o8fpzLf50U
