Good Snowy Sunday Morning to you all!!! Here is your word of the day: inkhorn \INK-horn\ adjective\ Ostentatiously learned : pedantic Examples: Richards use of inkhorn terminology in his paper didnt impress his professor, whereas simple language demonstrating a clear understanding of the material would have done the trick. It was not until the 18th century that dictionary-makers began to include everyday words and weed out the weighty-sounding inkhorn terms. — From an article by Faye Carney in The Times Educational Supplement, September 23, 2005
