| A poem quote for February which resonates with last month’s reference to climate change and the COP26 Summit: ‘We have no claim to the stars, nor the sad-faced moon of night, nor the golden cloud that immerses itself in celestial light. We only have a right to exist on earth in its vast devastation, and it’s only man’s strife that destroys the glory of creation.’ HEDD WYNN The above is included in: POEMS – EQ4U GRAMMAR/COMMUNICATION NOTES Another ‘word note’ reference this month. Firstly, two words that are similar in sound and spelling but have different but associated meanings, plus a word that also possibly applies to those who are bloviators, or even those who take a circumbendibus approach? (Ref last month’s words) Perspicacious (adj) perspicacity (verb) – acutely perceptive or discerning/quickly gaining insight into things Perspicuous (adj) perspicuity (noun) – expressing or writing things clearly /lucidly/in a way that’s easily understood Ultracrepidate (verb) ultracrepidarian (noun) – to express an opinion without knowledge or authority, especially to criticize beyond one’s sphere of knowledge.
