A more important ingredient, however, has been a large group of words that initially grew into usage in Texas itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Utilizing a thorough knowledge of language and a remarkable insight into linguistics, E. Bagby Atwood has compiled a reference book for scholars, writers, and laypeople whose interests involve the use of this vocabulary.
