I Love Words
…So today at work I looked at the clock to see it was 12:34. And I was pleasantly reminded of the time a few years ago I was challenged by my friend Jeff to invent a word for that phenomenon, since we didn't know of one. The word I came up with: Scalanumerochrony, the image being a time in which numbers climb a ladder.At the same time I also came up with Homonumerochrony, or "same number time," (i.e. 2:22 pm.) I'm much more pleased with that one. All of the roots come from the same language, so there's a logic to it.
So...yeah. I'm a big nerdy dork.

Excellent! I will start to circulate the words ASAP, with full credit of course.
I once dreamed up a new word. In the dream our band, The Fellowship Students, was asked to describe our sound. Our response was "Fellishipent"
i like it. :)
