Yes!! I'm here! I've always loved words and learning new ones, I've learnt so many thus far! What a fascinating and fantastic idea this is! I commend you for it! I love 'serendipity' and 'ethereal' so much.

Love this word. Also like pertinent and apposite (not quite the same but can be used in similar contexts at times).
whys:
12 - APPOSE
(inspired by Joseph41's word 'apposite' :) )
(verb) place something next to another thing.
[His efforts were a salient factor to win, however were nothing when apposed to Group 2's project.]

Pretty badly :(
I basically haven't done anything since I stopped posting on this thread, which is terribly unfortunate considering I'm writing the 3/4 english exam next year, so very soon!
I have a bad habit of starting things and then never finishing them... or attempting to finish them. Thanks for reminding me about this thread! I'll continue it with another word, and hopefully I don't forget about this again. I just don't want it to feel like I'm just searching up definitions, writing an example sentence, then forgetting about the word in a week. Here we go at a second chance!
13 - LAMBAST
(verb) criticise harshly.
[The author lambasts the views of the article and brands them to be old-fashioned and unfitting for the present day audience, which causes the reader to reflect on the values presented within the article and their applicability to modern day society.]
