Many English surnames come from a profession or personal quality of their original bearer. For example, if your last name is Man or Mann, one of your ancestors may have been a man

Here's what I've been working on this last month: a web tool for designing spelling systems for English.

If you've ever been frustrated with how hard it is to spell and read English, now's your chance to fix it.

Do any word-coding types out there have a favorite way for getting pronunciations from written English words?

I've been using the CMU pronouncing dictionary for my current thing, but I have some frustrations with it, and ideally I could get British pronunciations as well as American.

The keyboard has been obsoleted. The interface of the future has arrived. You will no longer languish, pecking at sad, solitary letters.

You will use three sliders to select words directly from the collective lexical unconscious.

A lot of people think "grinch" is a nonsense word Dr. Seuss made up, but actually it derives from the Old English "grȳnċe", a derisive term for viking raiders who broke truce to attack on Christian holy days
