Words Are Tiny Mysteries
Every word has a story. Where did it come from? What does it really mean? Why does "pineapple" have nothing to do with pine OR apples? AI loves these questions.
Three things to ask AI about a word
- 1"What does ___ mean? Use a kid-friendly example."
- 2"Use ___ in 3 different sentences."
- 3"Where does the word ___ come from?"
Word collection challenge
Try collecting one weird new word a day. Keep a notebook. After a month you will have 30 cool words to use. Friends will think you are a genius.
