Does it mean something? I feel I should know but I don't?

Thanks for telling me, though!

(I'll still call you Grace, if that's okay. :-))

It's my new most favorite vocabulary word.

Litotes (usually pronounced either lie'-tuh-teez or lit'-uh-teez) is the term for a" figure of speech consisting of an understatement in which an affirmative is expressed by negating its opposite", as in saying "not bad; not bad at all" to mean "really, really good" or saying "in no small measure" to mean "a lot".

I'm totally still Grace! \o/

Lol, I'm studying for the graduate school exams (the GREs). I've got a list of vocabulary words to learn that's 24 pages long. That's where I learned litotes.

Ah! That explains it. :-)

What are you planning to study in grad school?
