Mmm. I think she's posted this before...

I know I've seen it before, anyway.

Still, I think this is time for me to ressurrect my Plan To Take Over The World... I mean, to Change the English Language, One Word at a Time! (This plan is better, it has fewer majuscule letters.)

I'll wedge this into my New Year's Resolutions - I'll try to add one new (but really old or dialectical) word into my vocabulary, on a regular basis (not just knowing it and never using it, these have to be useful words which express concepts that are hard to otherwise say) every other week.

Starting, I believe, with hardel and handsmooth.

To help me with my endeavour - any of you have obscure, obsolete, foreign, or otherwise uncommon-in-English words you'd like to contribute to the cause?

Doubtful; I didn't know the word existed myself until February or so. But it's still awesome.
