Week Eight- Vilify
Hello all,
It’s time for the Weekly Webster Word! As you can tell by the title, the word is vilify, and here is its definition on the Merriam-Webster site:
To vilify someone or something is to say or write very harsh and critical things about them. The word is a synonym of defame.
// They were vilified in the press for their comments.
For this week, we’ll just be doing the standard again. Use the word vilify in a sentence or paragraph.
Week Seven- Byzantine
Hello,
Sorry this is late again, but it’s better late than never to talk about today’s word- Byzantine. Here is the definition of Byzantine on Merriam-Webster:
Something described as byzantine (or Byzantine) is very complicated, secret, and hard to understand. In its most literal (and always capitalised) sense, Byzantine describes that which is “of, relating to, or characteristic of the ancient city of Byzantium (Istanbul)”.
// The company's byzantine accounting practices have gotten it into trouble with the government.
// Works of Byzantine art filled the gallery's walls.

Nae that's hilarious. I can't belive you were wishing for Byzantine to be the word and there it was.
Finella lead me through the halls of Eilean Donan Castle at a run. Finally we burst into a room where five robed women were sitting, drinking tea.
"Code cinders from the Byzantines!" Finella gasped, doubled over and panting.
The oldest-looking witch stood up. "Where?"
"Edinburg Castle," Finella said.
"Thank you, Finella. You are dismissed," the woman said.
"What are the Byzantines?" I asked as we retreated.
"They're our spies. We call them the Byzantines because they deal in the most complicated and secretive situations," Finella explained.
