I Meant What I Said and I Said What I Meant - 21 April 2021 - Plague Journal Day 405

Micah 6:8
Genesis 11:1-9
Matthew 6:7-8
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

While some urge us to write clearly, using only common, easy words, that advice is to be ignored today, as it is Big Word Day.
Today, let us resolve not merely to eschew obfuscation, but rather to elucidate our audience through the employing of a surfeit of sesquipedalian words and oblique, though never obscuring, constructions. Our eleemosynary aim ought to be to elucidate and delight while assigning to any pedestrian locution its due floccinaucinihilipilification.

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
