COF also ensorcelled with newly found word

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

Response to Story with link to Adair Co. Travel Guide

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.

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.
