Hello!

I decided that I needed to separate my blog; I had too many elements in my original blog.  I had a main story, a section of my favorite lyrics, a vocabulary word, a grammar tip, somthing funny, and a closing.  The blog was getting too long and pretentious. 

The blog that had been called "Winning the War of Words" is now titled "Angie's World" - Angie, after my darling cat.  This new blog (that you're reading right now!) is titled "Winning the War on Words."  Note the change from oF to oN - this blog is entirely about words. 

If you're thinking to yourself that this is going to be boring, you're probably right.  If you are an English freak/major, you may enjoy it.  If you are a student studying for the SAT/ACT, this may help you.

Just feel free to use this blog as a resource.  I totally understand that it won't fascinate people; this is for me.
