excus--AHEM I mean legitimate reasons
Sorry, I know I’ve been super lazy about posting twice a day/on time over the past few days. I have work, and it’s summer, and there was a birthday in there somewhere, and my laptop now wheezes like a dying elephant and is so slow that it lags when I try to type. Time to suck it up and really look for a new one, I guess. (Any suggestions? Here’s sort of what I’m looking...

Anonymous asked: Just a suggestion: I think it'd be pretty cool if, when posting words from languages that have different scripts (eg. Greek, Russian, Japanese), you could include the word in the original script of the language somewhere in the post, just for interest's sake. But if you don't have the time or if it's too hard to verify or something, your blog is awesome either way! That's...

twitter.com/otherwordlyblog
strange.and.lovely.words@gmail.com
Please like, follow, or send me an email—I am friendly and do not...

okay, okay!
If you didn’t know, I include language and origin in every post. For example, euneirophrenia: it’s tagged with #english and #origin: greek. Reasons why I put extra info in tags:
it keeps the image looking neat—just word and definition
it’s faster than putting it elsewhere
it means you can search posts by language or origin
Reasons why I really ought to put it...

tumblr wut why are you so ridiculous
I… I literally just realized that Tumblr disabled support for tags with hyphens, making them unsearchable. Tags like, you know, #other-wordly. Also known as the URL of my blog.
That said, the tags I posted earlier are going to have to change. All asks will be tagged with ask otherwordly. Answers to rude anons will be tagged with otherwordly responds to unpleasantness. If you’d like to...
