spams getting boring so i thought id give myself and others some incentive to come back regularly to contribute so heres how it works:

basically all you need to do is to either pick up a dictionary or use an online one and find a word that you think is either not used in everyday vocabulary or you think just needs to be posted. so ill start it of by one of my words that i heard somewhere that i use on a regular basis at the moment:

There's a little town in Wales called

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

( This is a genuine name and the translation of the name is ''The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave'' )

There is also a railway station called

Gorsafawddachaidraigodanheddogleddollonpenrhynareurdraethceredigion

( This one was a silly record attempt, the Station was renamed just to win the world record of longest place name from the town above )

Now try pronouncing correctly and slipping those into a conversation today

I wont try just coz I need more of a challenge than Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch...

SA has a town called Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein, well it was once a town, read an article a few months back that said all that's left of Tweebuffels is a post office and two farms, but apparently that's enough to still require road signs to get you there
