The Things I Do For You.....
I learned a new word today - “prolix”. I was popping in to Dictionary.com and it was the Word of the Day. Without getting verbose about it, here is the definition: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prolix
Prolix -adjective
1, extended to great, unnecessary, or tedious length; long and wordy.
2, (of a person) given to speaking or writing at great or tedious length.
Origin:
1375-1425; late Middle English < Latin prōlixus extended, long,equivalent to prō- pro-1 + -lixus, akin to līquī to flow; see liquor
LIQUOR really?
