English

Following yesterday's posting my patriotic and cultural enthusiasm has been further stimulated today after seeing today's word on HSMSHS - English. So much so that it's pursuaded me to dip my toe so to speak in the pond of HSMSHS for the very first time and give it a wiggle.

Picking out the word from a book might be considered a cop-out, but at least I've picked it from the English dictionary, the idea of a dictionary itself being a peculiarly English creation.

The dictionary was old and the pages are yellowing, but this adds a little character to the shot for me. Hope you like it!
