About Me
My all-time favorite word is "grawlix." I love this word because for me, it represents perfectly the sound of frustration. A "grawlix" is the pattern of typographical symbols used in comics (and increasingly other genres) to portray foul language. Example: The word 'grawlix' doesn't seem to be in VT's dictionary so I can't include it on my profile as my "Favorite Word" ... @#$%*&! [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lexicon_of_Comicana]
