Et cetera

Mock Dictionary

Having a bizarre fascination with words, I've always thought it would be a nice idea to have a mock dictionary set up that showcases a series of words that should exist but don't. I titled it Mock Dictionary because, well "words that should exist but don't" is too much like the imoods page and I just don't like redundancy of any kind in terms of the sections on my page (this is, of course, with the exception of the best and worst English words). Anyway, this addition to Et cetera enforces my interest with words even further, as I have created, collected and defined a number of words that should exist but don't. This list could potentially get very large. If that becomes the case, well, then I'll split it into alphabetical order or something. But for now, you'll have to live with the layout I've got here.

Not all of these words are solely my creation, as I'm sure you'll notice. To see the source of each of the words below I have cited my references in the Mock Dictionary Credits.
