Whatever the old adage might warn, there is a bit of merit to judging a #book by its cover. Consider the #blurb, one of the most pervasive, longest-running - and, at times, controversial - tools in the #publishing industry.
For such a curious word, the term "blurb" has amassed a number of #meanings in the decades since it worked its way into our vocabulary, but lately it has referred to just one thing: a bylined #endorsement from a fellow writer ...

@jbedient HARMFUL?

Probably just meant Competition.

Must be in the definition.

I’m not 100% comfortable with the proliferation of “gift” as a verb and I might as well just come out and say it.

Philological musings

kith

This is an ancient word in English derived from its Old English (c. 500 - c. 1150) roots: "cúð" [pron. "kyouth"]. It originally referenced "[k]nowledge, acquaintance with something; knowledge communicated, information" (OED), including such knowledge as the rules of etiquette.

Later, it was seen as merely another reference for kinsfolk, relatives, or family--its use in the expression "kith and kin."

9-11 in Germany has a number of different, even ambiguous or contradictory meanings, not only because we read dates day-month-year.

The list of historical dates here includes the anniversaries of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the beginning of the November pogroms in 1938, the Hitler putsch in Munich in 1923 and the proclamation of the republic in Germany in 1918 as the date of the November Revolution in Berlin.

Lots of trouble _and_ lots of good developments.
