I always liked the sound of the word 'ruin'. Nice sound, nice connotating images.
Okay people, everybody who thought I was going to say either 'frog' or 'chocolate', raise your hand and say 'aye'.

I kind of like 'unkempt'. And the verb 'to Japan'.

'spunk' is always a good word

My favorite is "silver", too bad it doesn't rhyme with anything.

Correct.
As in, "Wayfarer seems to be correct yet again."

I have lots of favourite words. Honour (must have the 'u'), gallantry, chivalry (I seem to have a theme here... hm)... cherish, faithful, dearest... antidisestablishmentarianism... Sometimes it depends on how the words are said.

lol. Yes, I love the British spellings. I was thinking only a few moments ago about how interesting it was that we never changed massacre to massacer. English really is a crazy language.

could have changed it to "massaker" or "massacker," I suppose.
Sure glad we didn't, though

I would haev gone with massik-ra. Sounds good...
Maybe it' just me. Similarly, I'm pleased to note that my plan to change the school's mode of reference to the C.R.A. (read as initials) may finally take root. My word of mouth indoctrine is finally making some people call it the 'cra'.
