COF also ensorcelled with newly found word LETTERS & FEEDBACK To ColumbiaMagazine.com Thanks so much for the fascinating Photo Album. Although it lacked some of my favorites from CM it also included many that I found absolutely delightful on this cold overcast winter week-end.Just as awe-inspiring was your intro - where in the world did you come up with "ensorcelling." I thought sure you were coining another adairism until I googled it. Sho' nuff, there it was and a mighty appropriate way to describe the adventure. You must have spent a lot of time in the dusty archive's of epwbooks.com to come up with that one. The COF From high on the ridgetop above beautiful downtown Knifley, KY Thanks COF. Just heard the word this very morning for the first time in all of my 167 years, and was, well, esorcelled with it. The was discussed on NPR, in a Scott Simon interview. Mr. Simon said ensorcel was new to him, too. He'd never used the word, but thought he would use it often in the future. That being the case, we couldn't let the opportunity pass to post ensorcel on the CM, before some cavernal bookstore put a banner up advertising a new Harry Potter book as ensorcelling and made it a Hart County word. They're like that, you know. A second reason was that we frequently check the search box to see what isn't on ColumbiaMagazine.com. "Craycraft," the great Adair County Community located on the Christine Road, was one of the last Adair County towns we had to just create a story to make sure it could be found on ColumbiaMagazine.com. "Ensorcelling" fit in that category, too. I know you appreciate that urgency. As you now know and probably everybody at Knifley, already knew, the word means "enchanting," or "bewitching." As far as I'm concerned, "encorcell" will now be like "honyocks," a store-bought word, but one we've expropriated as an adairism (your term, if we may use it) and now it belongs just to us. As for me, I'm so ensorcelled with the new word I'm even ready to declare victory and call off the war with NPR on the great Knifley/Knifely issue. They invariably say it latterwise. Let's don't get mad, let's get rich, by capitalizing on "Knifely." If someone wants to go to Knifely, I'm not going to delay them with a sermon on their pronounciation. I'm sending them them straight up 551 so y'all can get their tourist dollars. As for the Bowling Green night-time radio (Buck Watson's term for FM) station, they're not going to learn how to pronounce it correctly, no matter how much we protest. Let's just print up some t-shirts with Knifley/Knifely on them and make a killing on them. There's a ready made Knifley/Knifely national anthem in Tomato/Tomahto, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, just waiting for someone to overhaul, anyhow. And by the way. I use the same don't get mad, give-in approach often. When a radio station gave the hometown of one of the survivors in list as "Mangolia," I put Magnolia, completely out of my vocabulary, no matter how much the Larue Countianss protest. We can argue All--ba-nee/albenny till Clinton County votes Democratic and it get a consensus. So why bother. And yes, finally you're right on your first premise. Even though my first wife Linda most created the Adair County Travel Guide, it is, truly ensorcelling to see all those pretty pictures she and a lot of talented photographers posted -EW This story was posted on 2008-01-26 16:52:56
