#1 It's a NEW Month: Time for a NEW Word:

Tweet

I have been posting some of my coloring pages on mylot on Fridays. Today is Friday, so I will post one later today. I finished quite a few this week, so I will take a photo of some of them and see which one I would like to post. I’m still trying to figure out WHY the photos that I take with my IPad come out upside down when I post them. So, I’m going to try to solve that issue. In the meantime, I’ve decided that I should have other things to post each day, and I decided that I would think about a few things that could be a DAILY post. So, here’s what I decided. I used to post new vocabulary words. I read a lot and sometimes I come across a word that I haven’t heard before, or have heard it, but may not know the meaning of it. It’s not really that unusual, even for someone my age who has been speaking English for over 70 years, to not know what a particular word means. WHY is that true? Well, there are over 250,000, maybe even over 500,000 English words in the English language and most people know only a fraction of those words. It’s really true. So, I’m going to start posting words again. If I post one every day, it would take me quite a long time to post all of them. Here’s one for today! I love Disco music, so I was fascinated with this word: BEDIZENED It was used in a sentence like this: “On disco night, Janet was bedizened in a tight leopard skin dress and costume jewelry.” What does that word mean: to dress or decorate in a cheap, showy way Who knew?
