Anywith: pronoun. An indefinite pronoun having the
meaning of “with a person/thing/idea/etc. whose identity is not (yet) known.”
This word can be used in a variety of contexts, giving rise to sentences like
the following: “anyone anywhere anywith announces anything agreeable.”
Surprisingly, the word does not come from Carroll´s Movement for the Rationalisation
of the English Language but from Albert Einstein who, upon moving to America,
was at such odds with the English Language that he decided to publish his own
dictionary. This dictionary had over 20,000 new words and, as Einstein often
claimed, it would have made the world a much easier place to live in if the
original manuscript had not been stolen on the orders of John Edgar Hoover.
