Good morning everyone. It is time to stretch those vocab muscles and take this week’s five word challenge. In it we take the five words for the day and use them in a singular piece of writing. What that writing is can be anything you dream up. the point is to look at the words and maybe use them in ways you might not ordinarily use them. I know that I am guilty of overusing certain words and it is nice to simply step away and branch out. While I am sure all these words are familiar to you, I have put the definitions below. Sometimes seeing a definition can spark an idea, especially if the word has multiple definitions. And while these are the official definitions in the on-line dictionary I am using, if you have a different definition for the word, feel free to use that as well. Or make up your own definition, just make sure it is clear in it’s usage. So…
