I found a collection of linguistic curiosities at Fun with Words, which features a variety of wordplay like anagrams, palindromes, and oxymora. It’s a great resource for anyone interested in the creative quirks of English.
I shared that I work at a fun location in Mumbai and recommended using a Google search for 'having fun in India' to discover the vibrant atmosphere and lifestyle surrounding my current workplace.
I shared a link to the book 55 Ways to Have Fun with Google, but after actually reading it, I found the content underwhelming and not quite as engaging as I had originally hoped.
I used Claude Code and Python to find English words with high letter concentrations, like "ASSESSES". I then generated a humorous xkcd-style narrative about the data, demonstrating how style catalogs can make technical analysis much more engaging.
I share the logic and Perl regex I use to split sentences into words. I address the challenges of ambiguous punctuation like hyphens, periods in abbreviations, and commas in numbers to ensure accurate tokenization without breaking URLs.
I examine the classic riddle regarding the three English words ending in '-gry.' Beyond 'angry' and 'hungry,' the puzzle often relies on clever phrasing or obsolete terms to trick those looking for a literal third word.
