I learned a new X-word today
18 Qudrat 164 B.E. - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 about 2:16 AM PST

I learned the word Xenophilic today. I wrote a Acrostic poem in response to a challenge. Each line of the poem had to be one word and begin with a different letter of the alphabet. I didn't want to use Xenophobia because it didn't fit the poem.

I encounter Xenophilic by accident when I misspelled another word in dictionary.com. Xenophilic appeared among a list of possible words and being the curious writer that I am, I looked it up.

Xenophilic refers to attraction to strangers or foreigners, a very intriguing and useful word.
