Word of the Day

A little something I started playing on Facebook a few weeks ago. It’s usually pretty fun when I pick a good word, not so much when I don’t.

For this Monday, December 14, I have decided to use todays WotD for education. Todays word is supposedly.

S-U-P-P-O-S-E-D-L-Y

See how I did that? The D is bold? Do you know why?

Please read this word out loud. Did you say -edly or did you say -ably? Read it again if you have to. I ask because there are a surprising number of folks out there saying -ably and, if I’m honest, it’s driving me bat shit insane!

Please, practice this one at some point today. Supposedly there might be a test later. Supposably isn’t even a word, so stop using it!

Use it well (and correctly) friends. And thank you for your time.
