Wordie
 And they say the Internet is killing the English language. To that we respond, "Ptui!"—a word we recently gleaned off Wordie. "Like Flickr but without the photos," this site calls out to list-makers and language enthusiasts everywhere. At this very moment, more than 10,000 lists have been created on the site, all celebrating the sounds of words: "accelerando," "corrosive," "peckish." More than 100,000 unique utterances have been summoned and lovingly pored over: "malevolent," "knave," "anorak." And nearly 6,000 tried-and-true wordinistas have flocked to the webpage to mingle among all these antique, avant-garde, or unappreciated terms: "chuffed!" ¡Que viva Wordie! Romp through the "recent words" section, acquaint yourself with the top 100 citers, linger among the most recent themed attractions, and then declare yourself a wordie. Go forth, friends, and flourish linguistically.
