My word of the week...

Honorificabilitudinitatibus

Honorificabilitudinitatibus: the state of being able to achieve honours.

Pronunciation guide: Hono-rifica-bili-tudi-nita-tibus

(It's from Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost.")

I love this word, its super cool. Try using it on your family at the supper table and see what happens. :)

  1. I don't know if I'd be able to get it out of my mouth to use it! LOL!

  3. I'd be happy to try, if I could only say it!! :) It is 27 letters long, and I have a feeling, if I began to pronounce it, I would get comments like: "What has happened to you?" and looks like "Wow, Sarah HAS gone crazy!" :) LOL!

    Love you, Anna!

  4. Love it! A very impressive word. The problem is learning how to say it and then remembering it later. : )

    Have a marvelous day!

    Love,
    Julie

  5. Wow. I love words, but I would have to hear someone say it before I could say it. But, boy, would I love to learn how to spell it! (I love spelling words! :) )
