Get Ready for Words Matter Week 2011!
Words Matter Week will be held March 6-12, 2011. The Words Matter quote for the 2011 event is:
Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann Hesse
We’ve posted the 2011 Words Matter Week downloadable poster, and you’re welcome to copy and share the image on your own website. You may also download, print, and post the poster anywhere you choose. Just be sure to link back to this site (http://WordsMatterWeek.com), so that your readers can learn more about the event.
The Blog Challenge Questions for each day will be posted in a new post on the blog (just go to http://wordsmatter.naiwe.com to see the individual question posted in the most recent post). For each day of the blog challenge, post a response on your blog, then come back the Words Matter blog and leave the title of your post and a link in the comment section of the challenge post. You may write your posts ahead and schedule them to appear on the appropriate day of the challenge.
If you write a post for each day’s topic (a total of five posts), you’ll be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate. We’ll announce the winner in the April issue of The Edge.
Blog Challenge Questions
Monday, March 7
Is there a word that has changed, or could change your life? What is it, and what difference would it make?

Thursday, March 10
Words can be mangled, misused, or misunderstood. What is your funniest example of mangling, misuse, or misunderstanding?
