New vocab word
Feb. 7th, 2007 08:18 pmA coal mine and its accompanying structures are collectively known as a colliery.
I heard this word in an NPR story about former coal miners in Nova Scotia who are now communting three time zones away to work in the Canadian oil industry. It was very cool, since I immediately knew what it meant from the usage and pronunciation. But I had to hunt for how to spell it.
