Friday Smiles 107: Lexophile

This is not a dirty word, but, according to The Community Dictionary:

lexophile - a lover of words, one who derives pleasure from various use of words, who appreciates the nuances surrounding different words, and who is alert to synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and homonyms, often using them for effect, sometimes in humor.

So, today I'm sharing a few lexophiles with you and Annie at A Stitch in Time, where she hosts our weekly Friday Smiles.  What a great way to start the weekend.

In a democracy it's your vote that counts.  In feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

And possibly my favorite this week:

Writing with a broken pencil is pointless.

Don't forget to visit Annie for more smiles, and maybe a few laughs, too. She'd love for you to join her, too.
