Speaking with a writer many years ago...said to write like you speak so people understand you. Would never consider using this word.

?? Why is the word unuseabe by a speech writer? I use the word in my speech all the time. Okay, sometimes. Okay, I used it once about 50 years ago when I first learned it. Curious.

that may be true, but don’t you enjoy reading words and knowing what they mean? this thread isn’t just to learn to use new words when speaking, but to become overall more literate. the genesis of WFTD back about 16 plus years ago, was a love of language and words, spoken, or written.

I work with technical documents, and I concatenate that stuff all day long.

I use Adobe. All it means is to affix 2 or more documents together into 1.

For the record I have never concatenated an ex girlfriend. I think that’s a felony.
