Word of the Day
I looked up a word today:
Main Entry: tau·tol·o·gy
Pronunciation: to-’tä-l&-jE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -gies
Etymology: Late Latin tautologia, from Greek, from tautologos
Date: 1574
1 a : needless repetition of an idea, statement, or word
And the way it was used, it made sense. It would be a tautology to say “This almanac is just full of facts!” because the intrinsic “Almanac-ness” (Almanicity?) of the book makes it so without saying.
Cool.
