This week's word is... *drumbeats*
"ridiculous"
Ok, why did I choose that word? I love the sound of it. Yes, that's right. I just chose it because I like how it is pronounced.
An intersting fact for all those of you who have read Harry Potter: The English word "ridiculous" is derived from the Latin word "ridiculus", which is also used as a spell in the Harry Potter novels.
Meaning: laughable, funny, silly (something that makes you laugh out loud because you can't believe someone did or said that...)
Example: I can't believe they passed that new law. That's ridiculous!
Now, can you come up with your own examples for our word of the week?
Language ... the bridge of communication, the magic creator of worlds, the brush and paint of authors. Language is magic. It gives us power. It is something you just have to love.
