Hi! How are you? Fab I hope!
I want to ask you all a question!
I like to take a word and write my impression of it ( Have you noticed? ). I’ve 25 of them going back quite a while now. I love words, like how one little word can have such a big meaning or one very long word can mean something small. So in thinking about words, here’s my question….
What is your interpretation of one of or both of the following words?
*Solecism.*
sol·e·cism (s![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() n.
1. A nonstandard usage or grammatical construction.
2. A violation of etiquette.
3. An impropriety, mistake, or incongruity.
[Latin soloecismus, from Greek soloikismos, from soloikizein, to speak incorrectly, from soloikos,speaking incorrectly, after Soloi (Soli), an Athenian colony in Cilicia where a dialect regarded as substandard was spoken.]
