The Northeastern University Libraries have just subscribed to The Vocabula Review, which “battles nonstandard, careless English“. Enjoy back issues and online forums, as well as each issues’ special departments like Clues to Concise Writing and Scarcely Used Words with a Definition a Day Quiz. This is a new subscription, so please feel free to tell us what you think.
Looks good! The Scarcely Used Words section reminds me of the “Joy of Sesquipedalians” chapter in Anne Fadiman’s Ex Libris. (Which we have at Snell Library, and which Rebecca Merz kindly loaned to me as well.)
