Word play

Some more fun with words ,,,,,,

If I live in the continental US, i.e. CONUS, Does that make me a Conussian?

Telepathic means to read someones thoughts but pathos is more related to feeling than thinking.

Fun with words

O.K. For this entry, I thought I'd put up some of the words I've invented and spellings I've played with. Not my best stuff, but I'm still posting old writings at this point. I might make this blog solely about spellings and neologisms, but I haven't decided yet.

“Anyone who thinks they can build a foolproof system has overlooked the ingenuity of fools.” Dr. Fredrick Edescuty

infra- below, beneath.

Infra as in Infrared should be changed to Infa [Infared] because it would be easier to pronounce and to spell.

Turkish blue - turquiose - Turcoice -Terkoise

To replace the words woman & women -
~~wooman?, wiimen?, wombman?, wymen?
~~ Man, Men; Wan, Wen.

prions - proteins that are folded in the wrong way and cause diease - I don't like this word. So, could we call such things ~ *protoids?, negateins?, *conteins?
