Richard Lederer's Verbivore "Welcome to the Web site woven for wordaholics, logolepts, and verbivores. Carnivores eat meat; herbivores eat plants and vegetables; verbivores devour words. If you are heels over head (as well as head over heels) in love with words, tarry here a while to graze or, perhaps, feast on the English language." A Gene-recommended site.
Word Police "Issue grammar citations when you see or hear crimes against the language." Online publication of The Atlantic.
Word for Word "Click and ye shall find the origins of unusual words and phrases, plus intelligent and spirited discussion on words and their meanings."
Words That Should Be Banned for Life "Devoted to those expressions so hackneyed and insufferable that they should be forever banned from the nation's news reports."
