Last Wednesday 2012

Earlier this week I finished The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. I loved that book!. The author wove the two different characters, and the 2 different time periods, seamlessly. I did find one word that was unfamiliar to me.



pg 391    “ ’Tis impolitic thinking that keeps me ahead of the devil, your ladyship”


impolitic


adj.      not politic; unwise; injudicious; inexpedient





It is a word that is hard to say, for me at least. I would not use this word in my day to day speaking. But I'll remember it, in case I need to use it in writing.


Until next time
Stay Busy and Stay Happy

    Good word. I can't see myself saying impolitic, but I agree it would be fun to use in writhing.

    It's hard for me to say as well. The definition makes sense but I don't think I've ever run across that word before.

    Judy, great choice of word! It's a word I'd certainly stumble over more than once. Enjoy your reading!
