stolen word of the day
I was just looking something up on my trusty Merriam-Webster Dictionary website and happened to notice for the first time that they have their own word of the day feature. Go figure! So I checked it out and it happens to be a word I like a lot. So I lifted it. Here it is:
The Word of the Day for February 23 is:
epistolary • \ih-PIST-uh-lair-ee\ • adjective
1 : of, relating to, or suitable to a letter
*2 : contained in or carried on by letters
3 : written in the form of a series of letters
I'm a little bummed, b/c I can see by the pronunciation key that I've, apparently, been giving it more of a Southern pronunciation (ep-i-STAH-luh-ree). Maybe not Southern, but that's what I blame whenever I realize I've been saying something funny...
