Ten
Favorite Words
(Number
One in a Series) |
Someone left
the TE dictionary open (again) and a lot of the words escaped. So
we asked our favorite female columnist Maggie Van Ostrand if she could
loan us some until the dictonary people could send a new one. We asked
for her favorite words or words that she doesn't often get to use.
Maggie, ever the personification of perspicaciousness, sent us her
words before we had time to rethink our request. We were very pleased
with her choice since she included feckless - which we were wanting
to borrow for the longest time. Maggie included an eleventh word just
because that's the kind of person she is. (Or perhaps because lung
is so short.) No definitions are furnished. Who do we look like...Reader's
Digest? If you want to increase your word power - you'll have to do
it with a dictionary. Just remember to close it.
Here they are:
Maggie Van Ostrand's Ten Favorite Words (as of July 27th, 2004)
phlegm, cachophonius, lithesome, perspicacity, feckless, bombazine,
solopsistic, dimity, sonorous, lung and Peripetetic. |
