So, to inspire you to search for something more interesting, it 's competition time again: I've hidden links to five of my favourite words around this page.
If you can find them, mail me with all five, and tell me your own favourite word, and the one I like best will win a copy of the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary with CD-ROM! Get mousing now...
