Word
Curls for your Vocab Bod
A
word for the week that for all its delicacy, will strengthen your vocabulary.
When you’re writing feels a little weak around the biceps …
Seriously?! Yep, seriously. If I’d
seen frangible in writing or heard it in conversation, I’d have
thought the writer/speaker was fracturing their English! Surely, it’s a made-up word? Think irregardless,
conversate, and flustrated.
But no … frangible is in the
dictionary, and its synonym is of course … fragile.
So there you have it … another odd, truly
unnecessary but interestingly expressive word for your
writing and conversation prowess.
Word Challenge: FRANGIBLE. Look for opportunities to sneak it into your writing and conversation
for a little surprise, as you slip frangible
into your week of mood-busting writings.
Learning knows no prejudices or boundaries, and it isn’t fattening!
Expanding your mind is a no-cost, simple joy. Do you feel that way too? What’s
your inspiration? Share your creative genius and Wordplay Wednesday comments below.
