while looking through my rss subscription, i checked out today’s word of the day from Dictionary.com and the word is cant.
i didn’t even know that word exists - that means that if you forget to put in the apostrophe if you want to say can’t, your sentence will give out a different message.
So what is cant?
1. The idioms and peculiarities of speech in any sect, class, or occupation; jargon.
2. The use of pious words without sincerity.
3. Empty, solemn speech, implying what is not felt; insincere talk; hypocrisy.
4. A whining manner of speaking, especially of beggars.
Okay still i don’t know much about it heh. Just to let you know bah this. (my poor attempt to make my blog looks intelligent).
