For all those words that you forgot about and then suddenly, they come out of nowhere to help you in your quest for a linking paragraph.

Today's word:

Despite.

Teek's WOTD:

indicative

Yoink!

*sneaks runs away with Teek's 'indicative' and hides it firmly on page 8 of her thesis mwahahaha*

Can I have a phrase? I've whacked out a fair few "with regards to" today!

I'm going to steal indicative too and leave

Pertaining

ok
love satchi :-) :-) :-)

ooh,

I've just used pervasive

Now I've got to check that it means what I think it means :$

Pervasive is one of my favourites, I'm trying to fine tune my grammar at the moment so learning how to use 'whilst' as apparantly that's better than some alternatives. Also I've been told to use 'this' less.

To "recapitulate"

phrase not word but I like...

"when one considers"

(very queenly I feel)

pertinent?? my research informs a pertinent question

The use of these words recently has amused me greatly in my writing up:

conundrum
bombast
credence

and others, all far too pretentious but highly amusing....

Stupefaction

i've found plethora, dearth, and paucity are good ways of saying 'there's a lot of' or 'there's not a lot of' whilst making it sound more intelligent and academic!
