The Almost-dictionary John Dalston

The almost-dictionary contains almost-words and is written in almost-speak. Almost-words are words that are prefixed with "almost," like almost-news, almost-travel, or almost-enlightening. Almost-speak is that superset of English that includes almost-words. (So you are reading it now, it's easy.) Almost-news could be newsertainment, or filler chit-chat, or teaser news (more at eleven). Almost-tourism is cheaper and faster than tourism, and consists of looking at pictures and visiting web sites, and just talking to people about places. The almost-dictionary is also about the many almost-aspects of life. Nothing is totally safe or secure. Things are rarely pure or perfect. There's usually a gap between the way things are and the way we would like things to be.
