Is it normal i love and collect words?

You have inspired me to list every single word I love, albeit several of them are in a different language. Before you interpret my attempt to list all my favourite words, you should know that I have chromagraphemia (a word unknown to several dictionaries), in addition to several other types of synaesthesia. Therefore, some of these words will be based upon colour.

1. Words that are phonetically appealing: Insomnia, subito (Latin), opaque, muse, rustle, deranged, moon, lunar, mind, reward, complacency, dread, manet (Latin), iimus (Latin), rogat (Latin), arbore (Latin), paulisper (Latin), nondum (Latin), cauponam (Latin), voluit/noluit (Latin), sedimus (Latin), stare, stare (Latin), mashite (Japanese), gozaimasu (Japanese), dou (Japanese), excitare (Latin), scio/nescio (Latin), mox (Latin), rain, benvenuti (Italian), di (Italian), surreal, sorrow, ira (Latin), Cnidaria, and sovereign, just to name a few.

2. Words that are synaesthetically appealing: Insomnia, pure, Zen, engorged, mud, ostentatious, mange, wrangle, suffocate, urine, dread, treasure, nomen/nomine (Latin), manet (Latin), domo (Japanese), arigatou (Japanese), Aoi (Japanese), drug, deranged, muster, read, owning, heart, sovereign, organ, rogat (Latin), Missouri, Delaware, quaint, forgotten, June, uxoris (Latin), mind, meningitis, diarrhoea, intimate, intrigue, fatigue, quest, hunger, fizz, fuzz, sister, nougat, nature, for, soar, frequent, understand, estimate, domum (Latin), dormire (Latin), fungus, gleam, soft, foreign, death, sorrow, ira (Latin), mox (Latin), iimus (Latin), fragrant, favour, trusting, itinere (Latin), animo (Latin), quiet, mesmerize/mesmerism, unam (Latin), duam (Latin), tres (Latin), quinque (Latin), desu (Japanese), amigo (Spanish), amo (Latin), zone, anguish, door, foresight, dissent, demand, rushed, hazard, marmoset, faerie, termite, finger, adjourned, rough, trough, thorough, Russia, German, moose, nothing, rusted, rotten, roots, heritage, orate, stream, faculty, the list could go on.

There are definitely more, but I just can't list every word I like. I'll be here all day if I do. Even so, I'd clicked the wrong option and said I only had a few favourites - Sorry about that. I never realized how much I truly loved words until now... Also, the word "pheromone" strikes me nicely for some reason. OH! And fancier words are always fun, like incendiary and provenance. :)

I think it's impossible to hate words, because we all rely on them heavily. Reading, which consists of words, is encountered every single day in our lives. Hating words is a stupid thing to hate.

Nice poll, btw! I like a few words: fractal, abstract, surreal, line, blue, etc.

Sareph, Lantern, Morning Star, Equilibrium.

Sexy fuck sex hore bitch

glisten
squirrel
snickerdoodle
method
hiss
clover
splurge
ferment
delightful
flower
stink

I've only a few; onomatopoeia, gorgeous, desiccated, discombobulated and eejit (idiot) as we say it.

I like words that feel right in the mouth, where it has to move the way it would when tasting wine. The words Serbia, prodigious and Caravaggio are examples of that.

I like old words like harridan, and midden, and wold. And words that still belong primarily to someone else's language. Schadenfreude, portmanteau, carabinieri.

I like rare words that can only ever be used pretentiously and only as a joke. Metagrobolisation, mesonoxian, concupiscent.

I like slang, especially that of my blood. I won't include any because they'll make no sense to you. Even though clothing an idea in words can conceal the idea, rather than communicate it openly, they're still personal.

I like words that look pretty. Skara, willow, Zulu.

I like words with powerful meanings. Salvation, redemption, deliverance.

My favourite word combines pretty much everything I've talked about above (with the exception of slang). It sounds nice, is nicely derived, feels nice, is pretty, and its roots come from another language.

Its definition is the smell you notice when it rains after a long, dry spell, and the earth gives up a kind of fragrance.

Petrichor.

Having a large and diverse vocabulary is always an advantage.
I like many words and I am especially fond of words that have interesting etymologies.

Yep everyone does it

Ahhh, I can rarely remember my favourite words! I don't know why, I fall in love with a word and then poof, gone! I'm still trying to remember my favourite German word, it's been annoying me big time! I'll just list the words in my head right now:).

I like the way these sound:

-actually
-peach
-apple
-I'm going to steal someone's username as a favourite too: taciturn. I love it.

I think that I like "ch", "a", "ee" sounds.

And now after reading everyone else's list, I want to steal some of their words, especially willow. My list is just really simple words, which is because my vocabulary is pretty appalling, and I'm a simple person:P. For that reason I kind of hate answering this question now, because there are so many words that I know I'll love, but I don't know them yet. Great post, though. I love words too:).

Edit: I forgot bloom:). And I like flower too:). And moonlight. And leaf. I think I like words related to nature. (nature is a pretty word too:P).

Oh, btw, what are your favourite words:)?

Serendipity means a "happy accident" or
"pleasant surprise"; specifically, the
accident of finding something good or
useful without looking for it.

serendipitous

^ Well I like the word 'mellifluous.' But I must say, I feel rather inferior to everyone else in this post, because you all know so many.

I like: interpolate, covenant, whimsical, dolorous, assemblage, conflate, epiphany, lilt, petrichor, serendipity, solace, innocuous, winsome, disheveled, chimerical, raconteur, and celerity!

i like meander cause it reminds me of a slow winding river. Perchance cause it s frilly, snare is like a nasty stare, runt sounds small and unloved, sunny is a good word too it sounds golden and fun, doodle sounds like a wacky noodle or a poodle with something smelly near its tail, someone anyone cut the doodles off the poodles ass!

Oh gosh I've never really thought about my favorite word/s I like this poll. Some words I like are chrysanthemum, dilaw, matanda, cognitive, compile, perturb, lovely, linguistics, perpetuate, pertain, ube, augmentation, alchemy, willow (My favorite! :D ), tapioca, tidbit, mathematical, compute, pneumatic, bubble, inquisitive, exquisite, quell, vanquish (I like the qu sound XD) and tutorial.

My favorite word is docile. Just like the sound of the word it's self.

Logomachy

But there are so many of them, how could you expect me to choose just one?

This isn't my favorite word, but it is one that I like: Epiphany. I could not remember it for shit one day, but when I finally did remember it, it stuck :)

wight
ether
existential
transcendentalism
raiment

:D

I love the words:
