http://www.wordnik.com/lists/blazes_boylans-list.xml I have a thing for monosyllabic words. They're easy to say and, unlike those sesquipedalian words, you can plug them into a sentence without disrupting the rhythm. I also happen to like two and three syllable words as well (no more than that, though). So here's a list of my favorite words containing three syllables or less. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/irate Sat, 21 Mar 2009 17:24:42 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/irate
