deathmonkey87 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) The English language has had an amazing role in the course of English language pop songwriting. To celebrate the words that make up our favorite pop songs, we'll be rating EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. The dictionary we'll be using to rate the words will be "Webster's Seventh New Collegiate dictionary" & can be be found here: https://archive.org/stream/webstersseventhn00unse/webstersseventhn00unse_djvu.txt Slay a bit words :-D DUE DATE: March 15, 2018 (aka "National Word Day") Rules: Rate every word from 1-10. Decimals are allowed since there are so many words. Also, only one word can get your 11. Edited March 1, 2017 by deathmonkey87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavish Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Diaphanous sounds like it could mean something repugnant and its actual meaning doesn't reflect the word. I give it a 4 for the beautiful pronunciation though. Edited March 17, 2017 by Kavish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
