The noun is a word historically used to describe an ornamental case for cosmetics and needles, and it brings a seven-year crusade to try and tweet every single word in the English language to a close.<br \/>\nEveryword has made 109,160 tweets since it started in November 2007. It has never provided dictionary definitions of any word. Just one word per tweet, one tweet every half hour, for years and years. The pickiest word-lovers on Twitter have pointed out that it\u2019s not quite managed every word \u2013 even before the account finished tweeting, the Oxford English Dictionary had reached around 170,000 words.<br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t the end of the account, though, as there are plans to restart with \u2018season 2\u2019 and a more recent wordlist. The next run-through is likely to take weeks or even months longer than the first.<br \/>\nInterestingly for an account that does nothing but share one word at a time, the account has gathered almost 101,000 followers. It\u2019s never interacted with others on Twitter and follows only 12 accounts \u2013 most of them being different \u2018every\u2019 bots similarly tweeting words, letters, numbers and phrases.<br \/>\nMany brands and companies meticulously plan and consider every tweet in an attempt to create more engagement, but the popularity of Everyword shows that sometimes the concept is as important as the content.<br \/>\nWe work with words \u2013 every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strattoncraig.com\/services\/copywriting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">copywriter<\/a> does \u2013 and the idea\u2019s certainly an intriguing one. The creator of the account, Adam Parrish, has already explained it\u2019s a way of showing how consistently fluid and changing the English language is. Tweeting every word is nigh on impossible, as by the time you reach the end there\u2019ll always be more new additions to the language that were missed.<br \/>\nAnd, when asked what his own favourite word was out of over 109,000, he admitted to having a preference for \u2018the\u2019. Here, we quite like \u2018queue\u2019, \u2018juggle\u2019 and \u2018delicious\u2019.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re ever stuck for the right word, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strattoncraig.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ask us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 7th, Twitter account @everyword posted the word \u2018\u00e9tui\u2019.
