From the latin word dicere meaning ‘to speak, to tell or to say’. This week Susie and Gyles are looking at the ultimate word bible, the dictionary!  Gyles ponders the difference between a glossary and a dictionary.  And Susie delves into prescriptivism vs descriptivism  We love hearing from you, find us @SomethingRhymes on Twitter and Facebook, @SomethingRhymesWith on Instagram or you can email us on our email address here: purplepeople@somethingrhymes.com Want even more purple, people?

Wambliness: An upheaval of the stomach. Boodyankers: An exclamation of surprise or delight (Northumberland). Gyles’s poem comes from his friend and neighbour James K Harris and is called ‘I Don’t’   I don't, of course, mean everything I say.  I mean, sometimes, I don't know what I mean.  Sometimes I have a thought which goes astray.  I start describing blue, it turns out green.  The alphabet is very volatile. Its union is hard to bring to heel. It's easy to fall victim to its guile.  You think you're describing what you feel, but then you find the words describing you. And so one sees oneself in their dark light. One thinks one is describing what is true, then suddenly one sees one isn't right.  In which case, still, it's true that one was wrong.  Well, truth, in some guys, always comes along.
