What an interesting forum. I am a student of communication and enjoy this subject on my down time.

I wanted to introduce myself to this community and look forward to sharing ideas with other forum members.

Best regards,

Richard

Thanks everyone for you warm welcome.

Not only is this forum interesting, but I feel smarter every time I am here.

That’s either a beautiful compliment or an even more beautiful sly insult.

Many have had the exceptional fortune to stumble upon this site, and you will undoubtedly find the discussions here as intellectually stimulating as others. To see such a caliber of intriguing personalities accumulated in one place is certainly extraordinary, and the quality of information they have to offer is equally remarkable. You should waste no time in posting any questions you may have about any aspect of word origins, as you should count yourself lucky indeed to have them ably answered by any one of the regular contributors here. Truly, I cannot recommend this forum highly enough.

Welcome Richard and Craig!

Great minds…

But welcome to you all, and may the force be with you.  Rather than against you.
