I've been hearing a word a lot lately.
The word "quantify".
As in, "It's really hard to quantify how much love I have for my husband" or, "I have such a desire for chocolate that to quantify the amount I eat would only make me sound gluttonous."
The definition: to express or determine the quantity of.
You could replace it with the words determine or estimate.
It's actually just a fancy word for "measure".
A fancy word for measure that I happen to like the sound of.
Too bad I can't quantify how much I like the sound.
Speaking of words...
A few weeks ago London asked me how to pronounce the word "honest-hearted".
I repeated it to him several times and he repeated it back to me correctly.
We've encouraged him to write out the sounds he hears when he comes upon a word he doesn't know well, so after he understood the sound that "honest-hearted" made he jotted something down on a slip of paper.
He showed me the slip of paper.
This is what he had written:
On-A-Started.
Brilliant!
I will never look at that word the same way again.
