Weekly Assemblage of Words, No. 3
So you may have noticed (if you pay attention to this sort of thing) that there was no word on Friday, or on Saturday, and that this didn’t go up on Sunday. The reason why is simple, albeit not much of a credit to myself. You see, I try to pick a word that I find interesting or humorous, and then I try to think of a “witty” way to use it. Doing this once every single day has proven to take quite a toll on my already over-extended and under-powered comedic skills.
So, I am going to present a Word of the Week instead of a Word of the Day, and these will now be Monthly Assemblages of Words instead of Weekly. Righto!
The Word of the Day is was posted by me on Twitter at a random time every day except Sunday, and is tagged by #wotd
