Scrupulous

I often hear the word unscrupulous. I was wondering what the opposite might be. I wasn't sure that scrupulous was a word, but it definitely is. I wish we had more opportunities to use it.

Scruple is not so common, either. Actually, I think it is usually plural, scruples.

Have you no scruples?

Remarkable Majesty

Majesty is a majestic word. Seems somehow related to royalty, and to Magic.

Remarkable is an interesting word. Like interesting, it can be used to indicate something that is neutral, but sounds good. If you don't know what to make of something someone said, you can simply say, that's interesting, even if you really aren't impressed. Remarkable can also mean significant, important, wonderful or merely interesting.

It is remarkable that there are so many exquisite, majestic words in the English language.

Are you a maven?

I like that word: MAVEN.

It would make a good job title, or even a name. A girl's name, I think.

Maven means an expert or authority. It comes to us from Yiddish!

I'm also excited because I don't think I have posted about any other words from Yiddish before!

Oy vey! what chutzpah! I need to diversify!
