Web Watch knows a number of women who find the words “moist” and “panty” to both be very disturbing words… and not necessarily when used together — all one has to do is include the individual word in an everyday sentence (ex: “can you get me a moist napkin to wipe up this spill?”) and you can see them cringe away in disgust.
That’s where Robert Beard can come to their rescue, with two lists of more pleasurable words than those two are:

The fine folks at Merriam-Webster have released their LIST OF THE TOP WORDS FOR 2010.
The list is based on the popularity of word searches done on the merriam-webster.com website, as an indicator of how popular the words are in general usage. Merriam-Webster has found that the more often an unusual word’s definition is searched for on their site, the more prevalent the word happens to be in recent news and event coverage.

Web Watch has two websites for you today.
The first one is WHAT THE F*** SHOULD I MAKE FOR DINNER? which is also soon to be available in book form (yet another blog-to-book deal, apparently).
One would visit this site to get suggestions on exactly what the f*** you should make for dinner. Some of the f’ing suggestions include:

Who We Were: A Snapshot Picture of America
As you go about cleaning out your house, Web Watch is sure that the question of “What shoul I do with all these old photos that we have lying around?” comes up on occasion.
Some photos, you naturally would keep. Perhaps in a frame, perhaps in a shoebox tucked under the bed.
But there are also novelty photos that really aren’t meaningful enough to keep, but aren’t so bad that you want to throw them away.
That’s where MOVING PICTURES comes in, as they’ve taken dozens of photobooth film strips and other photos that they’ve found scattered around across America and digitized them.

Cast Member Confidential -a Disney Employee Memoir
If you’re a Disney park fan, then one thing that you’re probably interested in is some of the behind-the-scenes stories about what it’s REALLY like to work at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Sure, you could read KEVIN YEE’s book MOUSETRAP: MEMOIR OF A DISNEYLAND CAST MEMBER, or maybe even Inside the Mouse: Work and Play at Disney World, The Project on Disney, based on interviews with former Disney employees. Both are excellent books for what they cover, and Web Watch recommends them highly.
But sometimes works like those can offer some views of life at Walt Disney World or Disneyland that are a bit more whitewashed than how things actually were. Looking at working at the Mouse with rose-colored glasses, if you will.
Sometimes we want to see a truth that’s a bit more unadulterated and unfiltered.
Sometimes we want to really pull back the curtain and see what life really is like to work as a cast member at one of the World’s Busiest Theme Parks.

On Writing – A Memoir of the Craft, by Stephen King
Writing Web Watch is not often easy.
It’s not the finding cool stuff to write about. Web Watch has a stack of things in our To Do pile to address at some point, and the Internet is always growing. We’ll never have a topic shortage here.
No, it’s the actual writing that can be problematic. Finding the right words to say, putting them into their proper order. Making sure words are formed into phrases, that timing and spacing is correct. Whoever said that writing wasn’t work was lying. (Yes, we’re looking at you… every English teacher who ever taught.)
So when Web Watch stumbled upon the site I WRITE LIKE, we jumped at the chance to see if all the effort we poured into Web Watch was paying off.
