Well, it's November 1st, and as I posted on my other blog, there's a lot going on, so I thought this Word of the Day was a good one:
lexiphanes (lex-SIF-uh-neez) nounjavascript:void(0)
One who uses words pretentiously.
[From Greek lexiphanes (phrase monger), from lexis (word or phrase) + -phaneia
(to show).]
-Anu Garg (words at wordsmith.org)
"The danger is in becoming so seduced by the lexiconic that we became lexiphanes. There's no excuse for indulging in the bombastic at any time, of course."

Hopefully, that dread fate won't happen to me, lol!!
