I've always thought I have a decent command of the English language. (Especially at cocktail parties.) Until I hit tonight's homework of learning 10 pages of the suffixes and prefixes and characteristics of certain words, in anticipation of tomorrow morning's class. WOW. Please pass the margarita.
What I don't know about words, WELL...
What does the prefix "Ortho" mean? Like orthopedic, orthodontist... Guess what? It means "STRAIGHT"! (Wow!)
"Nan" ="Dwarf"
"Telo"="End"
"Tetan"="Rigid, Tense"
"Noci"="Harmful"
"Crypt"="Hidden"
So a side benefit is that I am obviously learning more about language. On the flipside I wonder how I ever thought I was so smart with it.
Actions speak louder than word. Go girl!!
