Question: What's your favourite word!?
I find this question very difficult to answer, for as soon as I think of one I like, I think of others I like just as much, or more!. So, if you can think of your favourite word without hesitation, then please let me know!. also, do you like it for its sound, or meaning, or both!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Crepuscular!.
It just rolls nicely off the tongue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I think if you use a certain word more than others, and a lot, then you have more affinity for it, just because you use it more!.
For some reason I like the words "inherent" and "intrinsic!." perhaps because I like the idea of being integrated and whole, since I'm not!.
However, how is this a philosophical subject!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Organic - sound
Harmony - Sound and music and semantic
Swiss - sweet sound
Majestic - meaning
Idea - semantic
whisper - music
soul - haunting sound
greek - sound, so strange if pronounced with a latin 'r' - like in Spanish
spaniard - sound
logician - sound
persia - so exotic sound and meaning - lol
exotic - also another exotic sound, also lovely meaning
But my favourite word of all: Swiss
The next favourite word: Harmony
