Speaking in Tongues

I use a lot of words. I love language. Some of the words I use are 'subject specific', so I figured it might be helpful to people if I put out a glossary. That's all this site is, so if you want to look at my other lovely sites you'll have to travel. The words defined here by me will maybe give you a flavour of what my other sites are about, though. These are my definitions, by the way. Buy a dictionary or write your own if you disagree.

Audio Blogging

Speaking of speaking, Audio Blogging sounds really cool. I'd love to try it, but at the minute you have to make a call to the US, and I don't want that kind of phone bill ! Maybe they will get a UK number for us to use instead sometime soon.
