Hi everyone. I think it's time for a simple exercise that we can use to hone our vocabulary.
The main rules I'd like everyone to stick to would be
The way this will work:
Someone will list a word with a definition of ONE meaning in their own words and they'll use it in a sentence.
(edited to modify the rules
)
The next contributor will create a comparison sentence.
The word used in simile to the original will become the next in line.
We'll continue on until that's exhausted and/or when the majority of players think a new original word is needed.
The main rules I'd like everyone to stick to would be
- to use the thesaurus that's in your head and not Roget's.
- although the folks at Oxford and the lexicographer Webster are brilliant at this, don't use their dictionaries.
