Another blog
The other day an e-mail showed up in my Inbox announcing a new blog. I have no idea how they got my name, but perhaps they subscribe to BookNews. Anyway, it is a blog on Hebrew etymologies for some English loan words—as if there were any English words that aren't loan words from somewhere :) Today their post is on pita, that delicious Greek pocket bread, delicious if you make it yourself, cardboard if you buy it in the store. Worth a read, a previous post covered asphalt; interesting tidbits of useless information :)

Thanks for the plug! (I don't actually remember how I found your name...)
But do you really think the information is entirely useless? ;)
If you spell it as asphalt why was I taught to pronounce it Ash-fault? Or, am I only another misplaced Canadian.
