We just don't get enough pink papers in our family - I am sure this could be remedied quite easily - but I had forgotten how much fun it is for parents to be reminded of words we had forgotten to use or have never found the opportunity to use, but when asked, "When would you ever use that?", we have the ideal opportunity to think of ways to use words like "sartorial" and "semantic".
In thinking of ways to use the words - "Looking sartorially snappy today, Sir.", or, "Sir, this word is a bit of a semantic conundrum for me, can you help?", I thought perhaps an ideal extension to the pink paper would be to have to use the words on the pink paper in everyday conversation for at least a week. Only trouble is - how to monitor the wildly erudite vocabulary in use by pink paperites?
All suggestions welcome.
I propose that the blog has a list of favourite pink paper words and credit can be gained for using the words in English or a call my bluff vocab challenge once a term - think of the people who might do well!!!!!
