World Wide Words is a weekly newsletter by Michael Quinion, Thornbury, Bristol, UK.
www.worldwidewords.org
It's all about English - words, their meanings, phrases, weird and old words, new-coined words, silly or non-casual words' usage, mistakes etc...
Michael Quiniom writes about English from a British viewpoint (as site header says), that is also interesting.
I'd recommend a sample article - "How many words: how many in the language and how many does any one person know?"
www.worldwidewords.org/articles/howmany.htm
The site conains more than its newsletter, but weekly e-mail issue has a nice virtue of falling by itself into mailbox every Saturday.
