If you are stuck for a two-letter word: perhaps for Scrabble, a US state or a chemical symbol, I am sure that this venn diagram will be amazingly useful |

Since the art we did just got put out in in a public expo.
Today's Special will be le roi. We pretended to be royalty in the class, it was fun to confront stereotypes, assumptions, myths, etc.

Amazing Word of Today is a cooperative overlap
As in, "why are you constantly cutting me off", "I am not, just showing engagement and enthusiasm by unintrusively cooperatively overlapping"...
That made me laugh. Apparently frequent in female speakers of Eastern European Jewish community.
Wunderbar. I always knew we are not just ansty. We are engaged and solidary. |

EF, we are the ultimate masters of latching. Yo.

| | Re: Word of Today | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | Well, adjectives and adverbs describe ... and you could say prepositions describe relationships ... but nouns simply name, while articles don't really do anything when alone!
Does this post make my word of the day pedantry ? |

And then there are languages full of verbs and other languages dense with adjectives and nouns, which might tell us something about the way these nations perceive reality.
Word of Today is substance. I gotta cram and I want to sleep.
