Today I typed the word “wangle” for the first time ever. I’ve done it 3 times now. It feels good.

I’ve flicked through the dictionary and found another one.

[b][i][u]Sonorous. [/b][/u][/i]

Get in.

Anyone else want to pop their word typing cherry?

I used [b]exorbitant[/b] in the Joshua-Klitschko thread, I had to Google to check there was no "h" after the x.

I don't think I've ever typed 'whom' before just then. Weird word. Don't like it.

I was 37 before I read or wrote the word [i]meringue[/i] on a public forum. When I did it was [i]merange[/i], of course.

I was mocked.

Glaswegian goes into a cake shop and asks "Is that a doughnut or a meringue?". The lady in the shop says "No you're right it's a doughnut".

This reminds me of a running "words you can burp" competition I had with a friend for a while. The jury is still out as to whether "Constantinople" beats "dodecahedron" or not.
