Word of the Day


 The Cubs got rocked in Colorado on Sunday by a score of 11-4.  After the game, philosophe/guru/bon-vivant/manager Joe Maddon said, “This is an anomaly game for me.”  Well, if Joe can go to his thesaurus, I can break out to my Webster’s, which lists “anomaly” as a noun.  Joe, I think you were looking for “anomalous,” though I would’ve gone with, “The game today sure was out of character for us.” 

Remember, the purpose of language is to communicate with people, not impress them with your vocabulary.
