I've found far better resouces for looking up words, however I find myself using this website. Maybe it's because it's so easy to type www.m-w.com. That's not a very good reason for using a particular lexicon over another that is better.

Should it be pronounced, sounding like "on-velope" or "en-velope"
I would dearly love to know the answer on this one, as it is frequently debated in our house!
Thank you everyone.

I found no references in the English dictionary for the word "challan", yet here in India the word is commonly used.I found this word in abundance even in government and private websites.Would this word be a new additon to the English language by us?

Phenobloggy: A fake word I created (and googled to make sure it really isn't a word). I am looking for a definition. Please state whether it will be a verb (v.), noun (n.), adjective (adj.), adverb (adv.), etc. Please give a detailed definition (or multiple if you decide it can have different meanings) and 2 examples (use it in a sentence twice). The best definition will be the winner.

(The last word was "martoder.")

Why do we say that the door is open and not opened? I know that the adjective form is "open", but we say the door is closed and not close. Why is that?

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
