Word of the Day
I have suffered from anomia for as long as I can remember – I’ll be introduced to someone and either I give them a name and never accept theirs or I cannot make the name I learn stick, even for a minute. This happens often and it would be embarrassing except that I immediately just warn people I can’t remember your name.
A word for someone who never laughs is (agelast) and a word for one who laughs too much is (abderian). A word for hatred of reason is (misology).
Awesome words.

I don’t do it all the time but often enough to understand your “anomia”. Worse are the times that I call those people by the name I assigned them even though my brain knows the correct name. Sometimes I don’t even notice until someone calls it to my attention. I’m suffering a little of “misology” myself right now. Spring in Utah is either beautiful or stinks–often all in the same day!

OMIGOD! I need new glasses. That word was “hatred of Reason not Season! Mea culpa! Where’s that ophthalmologist’s number?!

I’m sure there’s a word for it – switch the first letter.
