HELP SUPPORT WORLD WIDE WORDS
Running this Web site and its related activities costs me a substantial sum each year, which I don’t begrudge in the slightest. But it would be good to get some income to help defray costs, especially as they are going up as the site becomes steadily more popular. I don’t propose ever to charge to visit the site, nor shall I ever put advertising on it, nor do I intend ever to charge for the newsletter. However, there are three ways you can contribute, if you would like to.
Make a donation
Electronic transfers are always especially welcome (they’re free of charges for subscribers who have a bank account in the EU). Please quote BIC: NWBKGB2L and IBAN: GB87NWBK55613803263339. If you need more information, please contact me.
You can also make a donation to World Wide Words by credit card through the PayPal system. If you do not already have a PayPal account, you will be asked to give details (over a secure connection) so your payment can be debited. Click the logo below to make a donation. PayPal accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and personal American Express cards.
As a further possibility, you may under certain circumstances be able to contribute by sending a cheque or cash through the post. Again, contact me for further information.
Many thanks to all those who have already supported World Wide Words by donating sums.

Buy my books
My most recent book, Gallimaufry, is about words that are vanishing from the language. An earlier one debunking the legends told and retold about the origins of certain puzzling words and phrases has been in the UK bestseller charts and continues to sell well. In the USA it has the title Ballyhoo, Buckaroo, and Spuds and is known everywhere else as Port Out, Starboard Home. An earlier book, Ologies and Isms, an authoritative dictionary of word beginnings and endings, is also still available worldwide.
