Word Fun

Clear Public Relations Words

 Those of us in public relations know how rewarding it is to string words together in a way that generates acceptance and understanding from others. It can also be fun. And frustrating when the words just don’t come together or come together in a way that does more harm than good.

So here’s a list of word resources we found recently in a PR Daily.com article written by Laura Hale Brockway that suggests there is a way to keep yourself word-ready. 

Here are a few of our favorites:

A Word A Day : For 20 years, the wordsmith.org online service has been emailing a word a day to subscribers all over the world. The New York Times has called the service “the most welcomed, most enduring piece of daily mass e-mail in cyberspace.”

Oxford English Dictionary (one of our college favorites). Even the world’s most definitive dictionary has word-of-the-day offerings. The OED word for May 7, 2015, was gallantry show.
