I was going to use “zealot” for today’s word, but I think that word has negative connotations, and I wanted to focus on the positive as well as end on a positive note.\u00a0 “Zeal,” to me, is a much more positive word.\u00a0 It exudes enthusiasm and energy.\u00a0 It’s also efficient, taking four letters to convey what it took me 19 letters to describe (enthusiasm and energy). Such a compact work to convey such large and in charge meaning.\u00a0 Why isn’t it used more?\u00a0 Probably because efficiency is not always achieved in frequency.<\/p>\n
With a little exploration, one will find many wonderful words available for use.\u00a0 What are some of the most intriguing words not getting used often enough?<\/p>\n
