Veer right

I'm not sure, but I think my GPS says "veer" right or left sometimes, not just "turn." Veer is a strange little monosyllablic word. I wonder where it came from?

The web tells me that it means turn suddenly, change direction, swerve, and it comes from Old French!

I also see turn clockwise, as a definition, but my GPS said veer left, when it wanted me to make a U-Turn on US 19. That was definitely a counter-clockwise turn.

I learned something today, I thought it meant a slight turn, not a sharp turn!

Scoff

I scoff at fear!

Scoff is a weird, harsh little word. It almost sounds like a cough, which should be spelled coff.

More about spelling later!

Maximal Exposure

Wow, how nice to know where my readers are! Blogger has a new dashboard and I love it!

Thank you for reading! Thank you for following me. You are the BEST!

I like this word: maxim. It is from Latin and related to maximal and maximum.

A maxim is a brief statement of truth. Here is a great synonym from the
greek language: aphorism.

Maximal: adjective, the highest.

Maximum: noun, the largest amount.
