Word of the Day
|
pecuniary--of or relating to money The word of the day comes from the 2004 Advanced Placement literature tests where students were challenged by a Henry James passage from one of his short stories. A tutor interviews for a job because, "as yet one's University honours had, pecuniarily speaking, remained barren." This phrase was interpreted by students in many ways--most of which were hilariously off the mark. (This did not, generally, mean their grades were lower. We didn't expect students to have the same vocabulary as Henry James!) .jpg)
