You always use these cool words that I have to look up -- never heard of "louering". Thanks, I love it.

isn't it a lovely word? You know exactly what it means from the context. I remember hearing it on the radio once and when I got home, I looked it up with a quite satisfied "ahhh yeah, sounds like it". For this reason alone, it is on my mental "favourite words" list.

It sits directly opposite "pulchritudinous" which I, no matter how many times I check the dictionary, will never believe means what the dictionary says it means. :)

🤣 Yes!!! Had to look it up, of course -- how utterly, totally unintuitive! But louering makes sense, feels right. And does sound lovely.

Do you have a favourite word?

I like "crepuscular" - at first, it SEEMS odd, but then it fits, at least to my sense.

Thank you. This is my vocation now! It's my only source of income, so I guess I can call myself a professional writer. On maybe a tenth of minimum wage, but still! :)

And no mention of our conversation earlier in the week...well, that's probably for the better... 🤔

On the other hand, we did solve a significant amount of world problems...right? (Perhaps I dreamt about that bit)...

Wishing you a productive week!
