Adding a noun takes 30 seconds but it comes with a big responsibility. Once you add the noun, you own it on www.oppo-site.com.

You must take on board oppo-inions of others before linking to its opposite. If its opposite hasn't been added yet, you must add (and own) that too.

The science of opposites where we aim to explore the opposite of every noun in the English language.

Nouns don't tend to have opposites - words like knife, pen, house, car and phone are somehow more complete when you find their logical partner.

Register and play your part in solving one of language's great mysteries. If we all do 1 noun each, we'll have this finished in no time.
