Via the oft-praised (by me, anyway) Pyramus, I now have yet another great language blog to visit: Languagehat. And this guy is HARDCORE! We're talking beyond mere word nerd here, people; he's in like word Buddha territory. Just visit and sit with him beneath the cyber-bodhi tree for a while. You'll be astounded and amazed.
Another guru of language is Dr. Stephen Andrew Chrisomalis, proprietor of The Phrontistery, an absolutely marvelous site dedicated to rare and obscure words. There are glossaries and links and all kinds of other things, too. It's simply brilliant! You'll get lost for hours looking at all the weird and wonderful words the English language has cooked up over the centuries.
