World Wide Words!

What’s something most people don’t understand?

If you can score more than 2060 on level 5th and 4th of UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test: consider your vocabulary size to be decent compared to Mensa members.
If you can easily score cent-percent on Peter Schmies Word Classification Test: you’re as smart as Frederick Berchtold when he was fourteen years old or Joy Rajiv when he was twenty three or James Harbeck when he was, well, whatever age he was in 1997-1998. Or you might be as smart as I am in 2025.
If you know all the words in Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words or in the glossary of Sesquiotica: you might be in the league of extraordinary gentlemen like Language Log authors.
Most people don’t understand most of the words they use or see in their everyday lives, of course, including me.
Most people don’t understand that there’s nothing to understand.
Why not I, me and myself.
Traction.
How do I convince myself of relative rarity of words or currency?

Puneet Saxena

What is one word that describes you?

When I was a friend of Brijgopal and Rakesh, I used to see Puneet as a carefree young boy in our class.
Rakesh left the group and Puneet joined it.
We used to roam around carefree. Unit tests in Maria Mata Convent School Chhatarpur were both a blessing and a curse. I had scored three marks out of twenty five, he had scored zero. Miss Anuja Rathore punished us both with a bamboo stick on palms of our hands.
Puneet moved on when I joined Kuldeep Shukla to help improve my scores on unit tests.
Puneet was well built, athletic and later developed fondness for memorizing entire songs like “Aati kyaa khandaala.” Had amazing memory which he seldom employed to memorize lessons.
We used to play a rugby like tournament during breaks. Teams were fond of having Puneet on their sides because such players ensured victory. The game was a superhit.
I was trying to develop a martial arts school which was obviously super flop because we had to wash our school dress, not just Rugby but also fights between giants like Avadhesh and Puneet used to render our shirts torn. We were not well respected at our homes.
He never liked his nick name given to him by our maths teacher “Punnee-laal Parathe Waale” as he frequently used to bring paraathe in his tiffin.
There was an author named Padumlaal Punnalaal Bakshi in our syllabus, therefore some of our classmates used to annoy him with such names.
When we met decades afterwards during COVID years: he again insisted on how annoyed he was with such nicknames. His actual nickname was Robbie.
He used to fervently tell about how he used to burn RGPV copies when review requests used to come. He wasn’t fond of making money. He said he loved his friends but he wasn’t fond of listening to advise. He had a big ego and he was an achiever too.
I still remember how he came to my house once after school bells with other friends to collect a notebook. Notebook belonged to a girl. The notebooks were cross distributed by our maths teacher who wanted to promote Mohabattein in a monastery.
Puneet, along with Avadhesh and Abhishek ( Rajpoot) ensured that I wasn’t focussing on studies. They used to create nuisances all the times.
When Puneet met me during COVID we discussed eschatology. His house was one of the first few houses in that colony when we used to play during childhood. He showcased some strange device in 2021-22 to me, some hidden project he was working on. Needless to say the project was way ahead of my understanding of technology at that time.
Yesterday I heard that Puneet is no more.

Open Book Free Rice Vocabulary Test Level 5th

About 7 errors.
When level 5th is exhausted I should try level 4th.
I was quite confident with levels 1, 2 and 3 until January.
After doing Peter Schmies Word Classification Test I started using notebook and pen to overcome difficulties posed by smartphone hacking etc which renders revision almost impossible for archaic words.
I project completion of level 5th before March.
Let’s see.

Hagen- Poiseuille Laminar Flow Hypothesis!

1. Georges Pouillet’s student Jean-Léonard Marie Poiseuille was a French physiologist, and the unit of measurement “poise” in fluid dynamics is named after him.

2. Haga comes from Old Norse. Hagen is a surname from Germanic tribes.

3. Hagen-Poiseuille Tesis for laminar flow suggests that there can be liquids flowing through parallel channels without mixing with eachother or without disturbance.

4. Among other researchers Peter Schmid( Schmies) was working with during 1993-2025 there was one gentleman from Sweden who had first national ranking. His own national ranking was 13th.

5. Issac Asimov researched into AI.

Don’t Speak More Than Automattic Guild Lets You Speak No Matter How Many Awards Your Weblog Won in 2015. Not Your Uncle’s Automattic!

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

Be Yourself, everyone else is taken.
The quote is by Oscar Wilde.
Nobody can replace you, even if your copies are assembled en-masse in a Nick Bostrum/ Tesla factory.
With that said, if having referenced three authorities wasn’t enough: I would like to know how does it actually feel to know all of the words in the UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test database. How does it feel to know all of the words in spelling bee contests. How does it feel to be Sir Donald Bradman or James Harbeck or Founder of a Test like Joint Entrance Examination for engineering students in India or To be founder of Harvard or Massachusetts or To be the founder of United States of America.
I have pretty good idea by now how it feels to be Gandhi, Kabeer or Prahlaad. I don’t want to feel that.
I might like to feel superior to others but I can’t dispense Mensa Membership to every student I meet.
You would really love to know what it feels like to be a Charles Babbage, JRR Tolkein, Or
Why all these pundits got trapped here trying to undo curses within the lands of haunted dolls.
They were merely curious. Curiousity killed the cats. Dogs took over. They were Sirius.
Then, they found more than they were looking for, almost 1408 of Stephen King.
They resolved to find their Team Cobbs who already had bugs like Mal in their designs.
What does it feel like to be Amish Alvi or Amish Tripathi: Immortals of Meluha fame? I don’t want to know.
Where there’s mining: there are reptiles. There are nightmares. Petroleum industries. Oceans.
It’s like motivating people to be administrators, not in so many words, an idea repeated in Bollywood, Hollywood, Tollywood etc ad infinitum, ad nauseum, ad absurdum.
How does it feel to be Khaleel Zibraan for a day?
How does it feel to not worry about progenies or ancestors or hungry ghosts?
How does it feel like to have committed absolutely no sins?
How does it feel to be.
How does it feel to not care anymore for celebrities?
How does it feel?
Why?
Who?
Reductio Ad Absurdum.

Peter Schmies Word Classification Test!

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

Peter Schmies Word Classification Test
I conducted a research into higher human intelligence during 2005-2009 by interviewing many college undergraduates and a few people from industries.
I continued similar projects even when the Peter Schmies text version of detailed analogies test was no longer available in 2018-2025.
By returning to basics of pencil and paper with Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon for Deux Ex Machina: I realised in February, 2025, that it was almost impossible to clear this objective Words Classification Test ( where you needed to guess if words were similar, opposite or you were making a wild guess.)
Siddhanta: fundamental: words are sounds in the wild without any inherent meaning in them. In other words: it’s difficult to read a dictionary than reading fiction.
From the viewpoint of a Grammarian , Author or Lexicographer: fiction is merely a context for interpretation of new word roots, new meanings, new associations.
The first law of remembering and retaining words is to merely repeat it often enough.
The second law is associating is with many profound ideas.
Being able to clear Peter Schmies Word Classification Test removes many curses for example.
Working in some libraries , for example, is almost impossible because of the banned versions or prohibitions.
During 2018-2025, another strange thing was taking help from James Harbeck, Sesquiotica fame, who had let me publish a guest article on his weblog earlier. I had introduced his work on Blogging101Alumni website sponsored by Automattic.
Every time I tried to clear the ceiling of 16 errors until 2060, I used to commit a few errors before reaching the score of 1000 on UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test site which was developed by Josh Breen.
I decided to make these tests open sources in order to crack them as Rick Rosner of Mega Society had indicated in the Mega Society journal.
During 2025 January and February this bugged website was unable to maintain itself.
Collins dictionary was only resource which helped.
Who was Fredrick Berchtold if not Pope?
Proselytism in the name of education might work in the short run.
Names are words, like titles, ranks, offices, honours..
A breakfast, a bed, a milk tea, a mobile charge, a distraction free environment to publish.
Project Gutenberg, project renaissance, project Sesquiotica for example.
If Gregg Scott, Jhonson O Connors, Norman Lewis, Ben Zimmer, Language Log guys and Jonathan Swift decide to keep meaning of words like Russel, Harbeck or Whigham: it’s a guild awards Peter Schmies Word Classification Test which is equivalent to Issac Asimov or Mensa Membership in Sweden.
But you are almost 40. You don’t want to be 14 years old.
Time Machines. Name Machines. Walking. Friends.
Was Reservoir dogs an inspiration for the opening sequence for The Dark Knight?. If yes, Nolan shouldn’t be credited as much for originality as for grand execution which works in corporate settings, in family gatherings.
As soon as Peter Schmies is out you start condemning him.
As soon as you exhaust Sesquiotica you look for next Laaloo.
Brown, Black people were frequent flyers. White people were not so.
Why did my corporate colleague prefer railways? To save himself from heart attacks.
What’s next?

Note: Public holiday on every Sunday. Plus: on second and fourth Saturday. 24 days of service per month. Public holidays mean Holi/Diwali/Dussehra etc

1. It was my first visit to the BOB branch located near Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India.

2. I visited based upon the suggestion given by kiosk CSC Nitin Chaurasiya who operates out of shop number 14 near Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India.

3. My zero balance account was opened about a month ago. I received a passbook on 12.04.2022. Account was opened on 14.03.2022: Satyamev Jayate. No photographs. Lost a charger in due course. No ATM card but transactions might happen. Slow and steady wins some rat races.

4. I was supposed to receive my ATM card and get e-kyc.

5. My account is no longer frozen but ATM card is going to take further time. No real limit.

6. The cashier at branch of BOB said:

” Did you get any SMS?”

7. You usually receive an SMS and card reaches your home.

8. Here: BOB CSC told me in advance about getting ATM through him via Kiosk. I was positive about getting it today.

9. I visit Kiosk. Nitin didn’t respond to my call. He was busy playing PUBG with a bunch of friends.

10. Those FRIENDS again ask bullshit questions. I ask him when will I get my ATM card.

11. Nitin asks to wait for three more days. The BOB cashier told that none of the ATM cards have been delivered in the last 2-3 months.

12. What’s up with BOB?

World Book Day!

RTI 2005: Constitution of India: wasting electric on purpose is a punishable offence under section 140.

It’s a strange cricket tournament at pundit Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh: no declaration of teams in advance.

A drunk corner under banyan tree for a sleepy Hollow class!

And Copyrights day!

A picture is worth a thousand words. A few thousand words and sentiments assembled for festivals. How you read and what you read and why you read?

Hindi and English Medium!

14.04.2022. Thursday. Birthday of Ambedkar and Mahaveer. Hai or Hain? Why Hindi medium? Because then cm needed to reduce salaries of all teachers and workers at once.

This is simplest of posts to emphasize a point I have already made too often now.

1. As soon as you enter into the Badminton Hall located inside the Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 471001: you see a small room adjacent to the hall.

2. Here you would find a similar picture:

Gutka aka beteljuice and dirt. Do you observe the broom? I have tried using it! I still can’t fly.

3. A picture is worth thousand words. Three pictures must be worth three thousand words at least.

A picture captured without the permission of labourers at work for a noble and just cause.

4. The fourth picture:

4.1: I approached labourers.

4.2: I asked them if they would like to get photographed.

4.3: They clearly said No.

4.4: I asked if they were being paid “at least 400 rupees per day for such straining work in scorching Sun:” it was already twelve o’ clock and they were digging earth for another tournament.

4.5: I measured the pitch: it was 34 steps. 22 ft. Sumit and Chanchal were present. I am Anand.

Copyright policy: if anyone associated with pitch creation wants to sue me for taking this picture at this hour; despite their lack of consent: do so by all means. I have barely enough to feed myself. These labourers need more than 500 rupees per day. It’s a difficult undertaking with weather and fuel prices taken into consideration. All cases are subject to human rights commission Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 471001 and Swacchh Bhaarat Abhiyaan Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 471001. Help alleviate the hunger and poverty in your world. Improve education.
