I haven't been posting to many swords recently. To share some new mems with you I would like to paste in the "word" definition you could obtain by google:
# a unit of language that native speakers can identify; "words are the blocks from which sentences are made"; "he hardly said ten words all morning"
# a brief statement; "he didn't say a word about it"
# news: information about recent and important events; "they awaited news of the outcome"
# a verbal command for action; "when I give the word, charge!"
# discussion: an exchange of views on some topic; "we had a good discussion"; "we had a word or two about it"
# parole: a promise; "he gave his word"
# a word is a string of bits stored in computer memory; "large computers use words up to 64 bits long"
# Son: the divine word of God; the second person in the Trinity (incarnate in Jesus)
# password: a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group; "he forgot the password"
# give voice: put into words or an expression; "He formulated his concerns to the board of trustees"
# Bible: the sacred writings of the Christian religions; "he went to carry the Word to the heathen"

And something meta...Quotae about words:
Words form the thread on which we string our experiences.
- Aldous Leonard Huxley, 1894 - 1963
No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.
- Henry Brooks Adams, 1838 - 1918
Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assault of thoughts on the unthinking.
- John Maynard Keynes, 1883 - 1946
Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.
- Victor Hugo, 1802 - 1885
It seems to me that the soul, when alone with itself and speaking to itself, uses only a small number of words, none of them extraordinary.
- Paul Ambroise Valéry, 1871 - 1945
The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
- Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910

Last supper
Taken in Hull
This Easter my friends invited me for traditional breakfast. Cosy apartment. Four of us: T, T, M, J. My accent was home-made egg pasta and fresh vinyls.
Eating sausages from Poland and listening to Niemen.
