By Ken Michaels, Guest Writer In Shakepeare's play "Hamlet," Polonius inquires of the prince, "What do you read, my lord?" Not at all pleased with what he's reading, Hamlet replies, "Words, words, words."1 I have previously described the communication model in which a sender encodes a message and then sends it via some channel (or medium) to a receiver, who decodes the message and, ideally, understands what was sent. Surely the most common way of encoding a message is in choosing the most appropriate words for the listener or reader. In Hamlet's case, he so disliked what he read that he described it elementally, as mere words, rather than a message. So I thought I'd devote a little ink to words themselves. "Nym" Words Have Specific Meaning Words ending in nym describe classes of words. Some of the more frequently used nym words are synonym (means the same as); antonym (means the opposite of); homonym (has the same sound as); and acronym (a word derived from the first letters of a more complex term, such as SCUBA or AIDS). Homo means "same," and hetero means "different." Therefore, if there are homonyms, it stands to reason that there are also heteronyms. While homonyms have the same sound but different spellings (like pair and pear), heteronyms are spelled the same but have different meanings and, often, pronunciation: a person who sews is a sewer, but a repository for waste products is a sewer. Sewer, then, is a heteronym. But the lexicon of nym words by no means ends here. One of the websites I visited recently2 lists no fewer than 26 nym words, many of which are pretty arcane and of interest to relatively few. Some are downright amusing. Do we really need a word to mean another word composed of two identical parts? If so, then tutu, pawpaw, yo-yo, and bye-bye are tautonyms. A couple of weeks back, my son asked me what is meant by a metonym. I didn't know, so we looked it up. In retrospect, I ought to have been able to logic it out, as "meta" means change. A metonym is a word that designates something by a word that is associated with it. For example, Hollywood is a metonym used to mean the U.S. motion picture industry, while the Crown refers to royalty, and the bottle refers to alcohol. My use of the expression "a little ink" a couple of paragraphs back is also a metonym for written communication, even when no actual ink or writing on paper is involved. The point of all of this has to do with precision in the use of our language. It will do me no good to encode a message using a word like metonym, or heteronym, or tautonym, unless I'm certain that my listeners (or readers) are familiar with its meaning. Either that, or I'm prepared to add the definition for their benefit, in which case I might have just used the definition in the first place. Still, learning the proper use of words, however arcane, can be useful, and if you like words themselves, even fun. What's Your Idiolect? In his book "The Half-Life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date," Samuel Arbesman3 discusses the changes in language that occur over time, and the two camps that see this phenomenon differently. He explains prescriptive grammarians as those who focus on the way words ought to be used, and descriptive grammarians as those who are more concerned with the way they actually are used. Arbesman asserts that every individual develops his or her own set of rules about how to use words, and that all of us--you, me, and everybody else--have our own personal idiolect. This delightful term describes our unique language and speech pattern, as determined by what we learned when we were young, as well as by who's around us, and includes our grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation of words, and even our accent. There's an important lesson here. If we're really going to communicate effectively, we need to be mindful that every time we encode a message, someone whose idiolect is significantly different from our own may very possibly decode it in such a way as to get a different message entirely. So it pays to be careful about our choice of words; is it really a message, or simply "words, words, words"? ? 2013 Ken Michaels. All rights reserved.

The Beatles came to the U.S. at a critical time in history, just months after the assassination of President Kennedy. And their exuberant personalities, suggestive lyrics and mop-top haircuts immediately appealed to youngsters while puzzling or irritating parents.Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were at the forefront of the British Invasion, a period in the early 1960s when Americans became obsessed with British pop music and culture. The Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Animals and Led Zeppelin would also make the leap across the pond to become radio and TV sensations.One factor that set the Beatles apart was their creative use of cryptic lyrics. Fans soon started analyzing -- and overanalyzing -- the lyrics, looking for hidden meanings and even playing tracks backward to find supposedly subliminal messages. In truth, the Beatles were inspired by childhood memories, books they read and other everyday experiences. But because they came from Liverpool, some of the words they used sounded exotic and mysterious to American listeners.So don't let it be!

Lip-syncing to the words as you stroll or drive along the streets? Yep, you're a certified music lover, all right! Care to put your musical knowledge to the test? Open this quiz up and sing away!Music has evolved in leaps and bounds, so to speak. During the time of Baby Boomers, musical genres were still so few. Big-band sound was huge. Jazz was already there but still evolving. Rock 'n' roll was gaining ground and laying its roots, which would later expand. Then there's country music, which came on its own throughout the decades.By the time Generation X came of age, other genres also arrived. There's grunge, alternative rock, new wave and even adult contemporary, among others. Millennials also enjoyed hybrid genres during their formative years. If we used to groove to disco then techno, they now groove to house and EDM. The list goes on; it's ever-expanding.From each of those genres came great performers. We may have our favorite musicians, but music trends lead us more to having favorite songs instead. The way we consume music also influences this behavior; for example, digital downloads permit us to choose a song instead of the whole album. But never forget that music genres are still alive, kicking--and continuing to evolve.So, if we ask you to name popular song titles, can you dig it? Let's try! We picked popular tunes from various genres and artists here. Fill in the missing word in the song titles and see how much of a music fan you are!Let's get grooving!
