a place in the English Lake District like Windermere or Buttermere. A place you might like to come and visit to refresh and gather in some ideas and beauty. Apparently, some time during the early 19th century, adding the suffix "-mere" to a town name became all the rage and displaced the French suffix "-ville". "Ville" was thought to be old fashioned and quaint, while the hip and cool "-mere" means to be part of something – from the Greek "meros" meaning part. In like manner, sitforacause.com is part of something -- a collective of people anxious to help solve some of the most pressing issues and forming a kind of global township to accomplish the task.
So there you have it – the latest 19th century thinking applied to a 21st century medium : )
