The world is still agog over my introduction of two words into the modern lexicon, namely:
Tomorning
And
Yesternight
Alert reader and Vocabulary Ranger Heidi Alder pointed out that the English language has some deficiencies when it comes to speaking about families. Specifically there is no gender-neutral plural for the children of your siblings. You must use niece(s) and nephews(s) depending on the assortment that you have. Heid suggests "nyphews" as plural. I tried niephews but it seemed overlong. What do you think of "neephs"?
I'm going to try it out. I suggest you do too.
