abandonment

I was about to make a very cheery post about how I had just learned the awesome word 'chronocrator,' 'lord of time,' from my good friend the Oxford English Dictionary. "What a stable, dependable friend in the OED," I was just thinking to myself, "Even if everyone else changes or leaves or isn't allowed to speak to you all summer, the OED will remain." But then I realized that it was not so- soon the language pledge will snatch her from me. I really like English- why am I abandoning it? Woe, woe is me.
