Monday has arrived and with it five new words to focus on. Whether you are trying to make yourself stop using the same word repetitively or just trying to practice new and interesting ways to twist them, these are great exercises to get the word rivers flowing. As always I will list the words and then the official definitions below in the homes the definitions may inspire you to use the word in a way not typical for you. The goal of this exercise is to use all five of these words in one piece of writing, whatever that piece of writing is. And so without further ado, I give you today’s words.
