So as you people saw, last month's blog...... was a little awkward for me. The reason why is because of showing how the word gay is not only a normal definition but it also is very demeaning in slang. As most of you might of seen I was a little bit scared if I might have offended someone who might of have read my blog and once again I want to apologize if I have offended any reader and just understand this is just for people to learn more things. But in no way am I promoting people to go out and be screaming to people things that they have read in this blog. On another note ….. I am seriously grateful for all the recommendations that have been posted and trust me one by one ill be taking them into consideration and they will start to become part of my blog. Since a lot of people have recommended that I start looking into the history of the words I use in the blog. I will try my best to find the history of each word to the best of my abilities. So let’s get started then:
1. Affable
· Definition from Merriam Webster: 1 : being pleasant and at ease in talking to others
· My Definition: To be really friendly or easy going.
· Example: Hey Alessandro you shouldn’t be scared of Mia she is very affable.
So as you can see here affable is being used to describe Mia as a friendly person and Alessandro’s friend is telling Alessandro to not be scared and go talk to Mia because she is friendly or affable
2. Vindicate
· Definition from Merriam Webster: to free from allegation or blame
· My Definition: to free someone of blame or to say someone is innocent
· Example: Hey I vindicate Wes from the red card he got…. The replay shows that Wes didn’t break Dirk’s leg.
So as you can see here Wes is being freed of charge from breaking Dirk’s leg and so he is innocent or vindicated.
3. A Grip
· Definition from urban dictionary: An large amount of a particular item
· My definition: To have a lot of something like money
· An example: Man Ji-Sung you make a grip load of money huh that’s why you have all those nice cars
So as you can see Ji sung is being told that he has a lot of money or a grip of money. So another way to use a grip is ...... Dang it Alexander Mr. Ancelotti gave you a grip of homework huh!
So as you can read from the title I feel comfortable this blog since it isn’t offensive as the previous one. Hopefully all of you learned something today and that you can find this blog entertaining as well something you can learn from and reference to. I promise that next time there will be a new addition to my blog since people have said that i did good when i used this recommendation. And thank you very much... HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Vincent,
You need to be more confident with your word because in this world, people will get offended with what people say so even if you did not intentionally mean any harm, if other people who does not know you might get offended. but anyway, how well do you know these words?
do you just pick out any random word in the dictionary or what?
are these words that you want people to know or you want to learn?
Dear Vincent,
When you talk about cool words are you speaking about words that are used in everyday life and are often used. Based on the words you posts up I do learn something because these are words that I don't hear that often, but now I know what they mean. How do you come up with these words? Where do you get them from? Its good that you talk about slang words words because some of them that we hear we may or don't know what they mean. Good Blog.
Vincent,
Overall you did a good job and in my opinion it was great that you took time to apologize if you caused any kind of harm but i also agree with vanessa that you have to be more confident. In this world, many people might get offended and you might never even know it.
Few questions?
- This "cool words" were do you get them from?
- This "cool words" are they slang or high vocabulary words?
- How accurate is your source?
Hey Chente,
I have to admit, i am really fond of the "my definition" column. Honestly, its a big help.
The order in which you organized everything is excellent. It really lets people trust in you as a reliable source.
But are your sources reliable? (urban dictionary?)
Vincent,
Nice choice of words to define there.
You pick out words that we already know the definition to but they are more advanced than the ones we already use. Way to help us advance our vocabulary. Your blog has been very helpful for me in acquiring new vocabulary words.
Vincent,
I have noticed that some of those urban words you have posted are part of your own vocabulary. I do not remember which blog was it when you posted the word sic and as far as I remember, you use that word very frequently. Nevertheless, I noticed that in these set of words that you posted I noticed taht you added a grip of.
I don't know about you, but I am sure that you use that word whenever you try to say a quantity of something.
Great job Vincent and keep up the good work
dear Vincent
Hey i greatly appreciate that your taking the recommendations you have recieved into consideration. Never the less your writting in comparison to your past blogs have progressed. You writting seems to be stronger both in grammer and in structure. Good job in the way you vary the vocabulary. You change the words monthly from words that we might not know to words that we can hear frequently in our everyday life.
Affable....that sounds so....iffy.
Somehow, it doesn't suit it's meaning. I would think that affable would mean something else...something like...applicable or something with able in it.
Did you know that there's actually a song called 'Vindicated' by Dashboard Confessional. It's actually a really good song and revolves around what it means to be vindicated. Google it!
in response to your comment: why do I get the feeling like you know who 'anonymous' is?
But yeah, Shakespeare can be considered foreign. He was British. We are not British. Heck, you can say that Latino writers are foreign.
Trippy huh?
much love, nessa.
