Follow Friday

Happy Friday one and all, although it's a rather gray and dreary day here. Hopefully the sun will make an appearance at some point!


Q: What is the BIGGEST word you've seen used in a book lately - that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition & book too. 

I have to admit that I don't look words up often, and I don't tend to commit them to memory. Rather I absorb them into my vocabulary. I think I did look up something in a book I recently edited, The Lion's Embrace, by Marie Laval, a 19th century romance/adventure that takes place in Algeria. But I honestly don't remember what word I looked up, just that I did look up something.

Thank goodness for the Internet, right? I don't even remember where my actual paper and ink dictionary or Thesaurus are. I'm spoiled by being able to go to these places online.
