Today we’ll dither over
Thinking about this letter brings to mind a host of depressing words:
Degenerate
Degraded
Demented
Depraved
Depressed
Detest
Dissipated
Dissolute
Drivel
Looking on the bright side,
Words like DAYLIGHT, DAPPER, DARLING, DEAR, DECENT + DELIGHTFUL
help to balance the scale. One of the more appealing D words that comes to my mind is…
And then there’s
Which can mean…
Academic, bookish, cerebral, civilized, cultured, enlightened, erudite, highbrow, intellectual, informed, knowledgeable, lettered, pedantic, polished, refined, scholarly, schooled, skilled, trained, versed, well bred.
In other words, don’t ask DIDACTS to explain what they mean unless you have a lot of time to hear them out.

Glad you didn’t just dwell on the dire.

Many D words have fallen into desuetude, simply defenestrated and disused. Now I’m sounding didactical!

Oh, surely not didactical. Just CULTURED and LEARNED, right?
