Humdinger         A noticeable thing or person, a model of excellence.

Maybe I should be ashamed, or embarrassed at least, for not having heard of this word until today.

After 53 years (and a half) in this world, as a linguist, reader and translator, with the love I feel for the amazing language that is English, how can I justify such a state of ignorance?

Anyway, here we are, I’ve discovered it – at last! and instantly fallen in love with it. I think I’m going to use it anywhere from now on. This is a humdinger of a contract, a humdinger of a legal English book, and so on, and so on…

And to start with, I’ve found this word thanks to this humdinger of a legal blog. The best, I think, when it comes to joining the best of two worlds together. The art of drafting a contract is a must for lawyers, but it comes in handy for legal translators as well. I strongly recommend taking a look as this website!
