Word wealth

[kari_w]

This was sparked by a recent conversation about words between laura_w, marcus_k and me when travelling home from the Conference in Wales. So often I sing hymns with phrases such as 'ineffably sublime' and am not sure exactly what it means.

The definitions were found by laura_w.

Prosaic:
adjective FORMAL
lacking interest, imagination and variety; boring:
If only she'

Your posts are better than word of the day on OED.com.

Please dont stop, my vocabulary would suffer as a result.

Perhaps not the most useful selection. I can't imagine using ieffable in day to day converstion :)

Actually, that's the one that I noted down for use :)
