What is the most boring word in the English language? What is the word, that when spoken, heard, or read, is most likely to induce yawning and a deadly torpor of disinterest?
Some people may argue that it is the prepositions, but I would disagree: it is true that prepositions are not inherently interesting words in themselves, but they are useful. And in their utility lies their interest.
No; for me, the most boring word in the English language would have to be 'strung'. I shall strive, from now on, to make Will Type For Food the blog a 'strung' free-zone.

I find 'crepuscular' always livens things up, but you have to slip it in carefully, so it doesn't stand out
PS Buggery is a dead link, fyi
You mean when I adopt the Rich Australian Vernacular (TM), and tell everyone to bloody go to buggery!, they won't know what to do? Bloody hell!
Shall fix that immediately. Thanks Jeff.
I am looking forward to your posts.
The worse word for me in any leanguage it's study, but not in general, let me explain... I like to study what I like, example, technology, hack, psycology and some other stuff and I don't like to study high school... it's boring that's why I never finished and start studying programming by myself.
That's the meaning for me.
a top ten:
1. plate
2. plane
3. plain
4. slate
5. flour
6. seat
7. slope
8. front
9. frame
10. cole
