The name

Why is my blog named 'Jeux de mot'?

Well, I asked yet another smart friend of mine for advice. She wisely suggested that it be something in French with a double meaning.

'Jeux de mot' is literally: word games. This is different from 'jeux de mots' (motS plural) which means 'puns.'

So the name tells a lot about what to expect: fun with words, creativity, (hopefully) not taking oneself too seriously, and general literary lightheartedness.
