It’s really quite amazing how quickly plans can be derailed. I meant to start the New Year with a post with my word a week and some thoughts on the year to come. Instead, I got food poisoning and have spent the past two days curled up on the couch. Not exactly the way I had hoped to start 2007.
So, #79 on my list is to learn a new word each week. This week, I pulled out my ratty dictionary and opened up to a random page and went down the words until I found one I didn’t know that seemed applicable to my life.
As a future English teacher and current writer, I think it’s important to keep developing my vocabulary. Having an extensive vocabulary definitely never hurt anyone. The trick is to take the week to use the word as well as listen and watch for the word on TV or in what you’re reading. This will really help the word become a part of your every day vocabulary.
This week’s word is…HAPTIC: adj. Of or having to do with the sense of touch; tactile
My sentence: A blind person may develop a haptic way of getting around.
1 down, 51 to go.
