Bill Casselman's Canadian Word of the Day™ features hundreds of short entries about Canadian phrases, words, expressions, and folk sayings. My newest, latest, unpublished word stories and studies appear here on this website. Canadian English is the focus but English spoken and written all over the world and throughout the history of the language interest me as well. Also presented are samples from my ten books about the origins of Canadian words and Canadian folk sayings. There are several features including The Wording Room that present my explorations in etymology and word lore not published elsewhere. Excerpts from my book about the etymology of medical words are here. Personal history features include a brief and an extensive biography and curriculum vitae, plus selections from my humorous writings, newspaper articles, magazine columns, and juvenilia, together with a schedule of appearances and a small photo album. Use the various listings and indices to find Canadian words that interest you. The links below are to lists that will help you navigate this site. The links are presented with the most important lists first. Yes, there is some repetition of word entry titles. But, hey, that way you won't miss any of the gems awaiting your perusal and inspection!
