The Word Detective needs your help.

The Word Detective Online has been a free online resource for fifteen years.  More than half a million readers visit us every year, and more than 30,000 other sites, many of them universities and libraries, link to us.

inky0109The Word Detective Online has always been free and always will be free.  But we depend on reader subscriptions and contributions to survive.  Unfortunately, the current dismal state of the world economy has caused a precipitous decline in the number of readers who are able to contribute or subscribe, and the Word Detective needs your help now.

We are running out of peanut butter and cat food, and that is not meant metaphorically.  Just ask Inky.

If you have enjoyed the Word Detective Online over the past fifteen years, please subscribe for $15 per year (roughly four cents per day), or simply contribute what you can.  The second PayPal link on the Subscription page can accept donations of any amount.

Your support today will ensure that the Word Detective will be here to answer your questions in the future.

    I did not find the Word Detective quite that long ago. (15 years ago) I have subscribed today, and hope to continue to enjoy your columns.

    thank you
