Practical Lexicography

our name

1. the art or craft of compiling, writing and editing dictionaries

2. a project with a story and mission…

Practical Lexicography is a project I started nearly 10 years ago when I first began university. I made it my goal to look up every new word that I encountered in an effort to expand my vocabulary. Each time I heard or read a word that I was unfamiliar with, whether in a conversation, lecture, book or podcast, I looked it up and took a screenshot on my phone for safe keeping.

After finally graduating 21st grade…and 500+ words later…I am excited to share this personally curated lexicon that I have compiled along the way. As a matter of fact, I am still collecting new, great words till this day!

It is now Practical Lexicography’s mission to give back and help others expand and develop their own personal lexicon…and I cannot wait to “see you on the next word!”
