All Numbers Less Than 100 Are Interesting?, Dave Morice
All Numbers Less Than 100 Are Interesting?, Dave Morice
Word Ways
In the Feb 1977 Word Ways, Dmitri Borgmann wrote "All English words and names--all, without a single exception--are logologically interesting." He didn't define interestingness, and his examples didn't clarify matters. In the May 1980 Word ways, Philip Cohen attempted to codify the term, applying it to a finite set of words (the 50 states) with some success. I decided to apply the concept to a different set: the number names ONE, TWO, ...,NINETY-NINE. Mathematics plays an important part in wordplay. Because both logological and numerical properties can be considered, interestingness takes many strange twists and turns.

Following on from the search for additional transposable names of the GARY GRAY and EDNA DEAD type (see "A Checklist of Transposable People" in the Aug 1998 Word Ways, we decided to further investigate the most fruitful combinations at the four-, five- and six-letter levels. In the process, several new transposable names came to light (these are asterisked below). Note that examples where the first and last names are identical and also included.

In computerese these days, the word internationalization comes up an awful lot. It usually refers to the conversion of software into a form that is accessible to users in different countries, speaking different languages. A related term, localization, describes the customization of software for users at a particular location, with a specific language need. Because these terms are quite long, they have curious abbreviations; il8n (referring to the fact there are 10 letters between the initial I and the final N) and 110n.

As we near the end of the twentieth century, baseball enthusiasts are compiling lists of the greatest players of the past hundred years. To complement the lists of players known for their accomplishments on the field, I would like to propose a Screwball All-Star Team made up of the anagrams of baseball players of the present and past. All of the names have been taken from the 10th edition of The Baseball Encyclopedia: The Complete and Definitive Record of Major League Baseball.
Reversible Heterograms, Rex Gooch
Reversible Heterograms, Rex Gooch
Word Ways
In my article "Statistics of Word Neighbours" in the Nov 2997 Word Ways, I showed that theoretical expectations matched actuality quite well for heterograms, words of a given length which had all letters different (Graph 2 in that article). In "Snakes and Ladders" I attempted to make ladders between heterograms which were also words when reversed. This article gives Fuller results of my investigation into reversible heterograms. The lists can act as a crib for people constructing palindromic phrases!
Reversed Placenames, Dan Tilque
Reversed Placenames, Dan Tilque
Word Ways
Many years ago, I worked for a company which had been founded by a man named Joe Grebe. Mr. Grebe had passed away a few years before and some of the employees wanted to name something after him. They finally persuaded one of the railroads to rename a train stop at one of the company plants Eberg, the reverse of Grebe. With this reversal they joined in what is probably the most common form of wordplay used in forming placenames.

A previous article introduced a term bisogram to refer to a pair of words which does not repeat a letter, and described the search to equal the longest-known example, the 20 letter GUNPOWDERY BLACKSMITH. In this article, I described the search to equal the longest-known three-four- and five-word sets: triosgrams, quadrisograms, and quitisograms.

Single Letter Prefixing, Rex Gooch, Susan Thorpe
Word Ways
Allow us to start with some simple definitions: this article concerns prefixing a single letter to a root word (root for short) to make another word, e.g., M prefixes the root AN to make MAN. In the January 1997 Wordsworth, Ted Clarke asked whether there was a longer set of four-letter words than a list of 16 based on IND as the last three letters.

Scarfin' Fatback's latest weapon of choice in the Word Ways word duel is the anagram, a treacherous tool for the wannabe logologist. Does he not realize that a sensible narrative is almost impossible to achieve when anagramming groups of 30 or fewer letters? I've read his Frostian parody of Mary's lamb three times and I'm still don't know what it says!

Mucho Ado About "Nothing", Thomas L. Bernard
Word Ways
It is axiomatic that if you have nothing you have "no thing." Delving into this realm of nothingness has revealed numerous creative ways by which speakers of English express this idea of nonentity. As with this previous word, most "nothings" seem to begin with an N: none, nil, null, nary, naught, nix, and the north of England's nowt. Of late, one even finds numerous instances of the Spanish "nada" creeping in.

Some readers of Word Ways may be old enough to recall Fractured French: Jeanne d'Arc rendered as "no light in the toilet" and Honors de Balzac as "no hitting below the belt." Foreign languages are now much in decline and most people may not even get the joke in un deux trois quatre cing "one of the three kittens drowned."

Word Ladder Squares And Cubes, James Puder
Word Ladder Squares And Cubes, James Puder
Word Ways
In its traditional form, the word ladder is a one-dimensional structure; even word ladder networks with many branching proceed in a basically linear fashion. But one can conceive of word ladders which extend solidly in two and three dimensions, in the manner of the familiar word square and word cube. This article will suggest some definitions and rules of construction which might reasonably apply to such arrays, and offer some illustrative examples.

Bibliography, Cultural Studies, And Rare Book Librarianship: Tennyson's "Crossing The Bar" And The Cultural Significance Of Unauthoritative Texts, Patrick G. Scott
Faculty Publications
For a conference discussion of textual bibliographers and rare book librarians on the topic "Who needs textual studies?," this paper examines three different appearances of Alfred Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar": (1) a manuscript facsimile, (ii) its reuse as a hymn and in a giftbook; and (iii) the paperback Armed Services Edition distributed to US troops overseas during World War II, and argues that with the shift from literary studies to cultural studies such later "unauthoritative texts" have a new importance for scholars and students, and deserve increased attention from bibliographers, collectors, and rare book librarians. Originally presented at the …

Towards A Reconstructive Feminism: Reconstructing The Relationship Of Market Work And Family Work, Joan Williams
Towards A Reconstructive Feminism: Reconstructing The Relationship Of Market Work And Family Work, Joan Williams
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article traces the separation of the work and family spheres, arising in the nineteenth century, and how this separation into traditionally male and female areas has affected women's "choice" to stay home and rear children, or to participate in the workforce. This article explains how women often fail to achieve the ideal-worker norm because of the demands on their time created by childrearing. The author ends by discussing the shortcomings of the classic strategy feminists have proposed to change domesticity's ordering of family and market work and suggests a new paradigm, called "reconstructive feminism," which eliminates the ideal-worker norm …
