When I say beautiful things, I'm not necessarily living them; when I live them, the beautiful thing is that words aren't necessary. --Brock Tully

70 Best-Loved Words:
We each have a special relationship to the words we use, and our vocabulary often reflects our way of relating to the world. An intriguing survey conducted by the British Council collected and compiled the top 70 favorite words of the English language. The Council asked more than 7,000 learners in 46 countries what they considered the most beautiful English words. "It's interesting that mother, the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll," said Greg Selby, the council's communications and marketing officer, who managed the project. This link has the other top 70 words. [more]

On Mar 12, 2010 sherly writes:

I see all the people are searching for a crush/ lover/... etc.

But sometimes they lose there feeling coz they lose there crush or lover.

we must stop feeling the life and mix it with the love... coz there are more than love.

sometimes the person feel that it's not normal to forget his/ her crush... but on the other hand we must look at the good side from our life.

If are thinking for a good words to say to your crush :-

all the people i know they ask me it's embarasing to tell  your crush that you love/ like him... but if you can't send him a letters or talk to him about something...

for me when i see that i like someone... i think that i must give him the true feeling,

Please any question : asksherly@yahoo.com
