Word of the Day!
Let’s try something a little different!
I’m 71 years old, as most all of you know, I have spent my career fight crime, either as a deputy sheriff, or a state correctional sergeant. I also, for about 9 years, was both a city police officer and a firefighter. Back in the day (early 70s) that distinction was proudly called a “Public Safety Officer”.
So, I can definitely say that I enjoy learning new words in my extremely limited vocabulary. I just though this morning about sharing this newfound knowledge with you.
The words I will be offering are sent to me by “Word of the Day”, 18034 Ventura Blvd · Unit #606 · Encino · California · 91316, which I subscribed for a couple weeks ago, and I find it extremely interesting, to say the least.
Here’s todays Word of the Day!
Leximazing
Definition:
(adjective)
This term combines "lexicon," which refers to a person's vocabulary or the vocabulary of a language, with "amazing" to describe something that is not only linguistically impressive but also astonishing or awe-inspiring.
Usage:
Person A: "Did you hear that spoken word performance by the talented poet?"
Person B: "Oh yes, it was absolutely leximazing! The poet's command of language and ability to evoke emotions were extraordinary."
Thanks, Daniel, for being open-minded about assistance. FYI, what I noticed were a couple of word endings that seemed incomplete and (possibly) a comma placed where it didn't need to be. I enjoy your input on LFAA, look forward to it in fact. Upon second glance, you probably don't need me. It's a remnant of my former life that items seeking my proofreading skills just seem to jump out at me. No need to run stuff by me ...
Daniel, a very interesting post. I had never heard of this new word-making until now.
But ... as an eagle-eyed former secretary, I found possibly four proofreading issues in your first three paragraphs. Do you have a second set of eyes on board? (Definitely not critiquing your content, just its presentation. Probably cannot NOT notice such things because I was trained to do just that. Sorry...)
