Word For The Day...
I got this word 'indignant' from today's first reading (2 Cor 11:18,21-30). This is not a word that I'd use. I would probably just use 'angry' or 'annoyed'.
But I guess, sometimes we need to use a variation to break the monotony of a long passage when words like 'angry' or 'annoyed' have already been employed... hence, it may be time to use the word 'indignant'.
