In the interest of the bizarre, I've come up with a weird new challenge. It's kind of the opposite of a word of the day thing.


It works like this. Each day I'll pick one word and then that word is off-limits. I'm going to try to avoid using the word at all but with some of the words (the tougher ones at least), I will make exceptions for class-related stuff (as I don't want to sound like a complete moron in class by having to think of ways around words like 'a' :P).

Another added bonus of this challenge is that it should also lead to my posting in my blog a lot more as I'll have to list the forbidden word of the day (and presumably I'll talk about other stuff while I'm at it).

The reason I'm posting it on here as opposed to just keeping track myself is so that you, the reader, can have an opportunity to join in on the fun! It should be an interesting way to see how language works and to push yourself creatively.

I figure I'll start out with something kinda easy today (as in Tuesday the 13th). The challenge begins upon waking and ends once I go to sleep for the day (if you participate obviously you would change that to your waking and sleeping times). The first word of the Banned Word Challenge shall be... *drumroll* FOR! It's a fairly common word but at the same time, it should be easier to get around than a lot of common words would be.

Tune in Tuesday night for news of how the first day went and to find out the new word of the day!
