Say It Plainly Star
A collection that states its case plainly, and an earned one. You found the Latin root dict, to speak, hiding inside dictation, verdict, and contradict, and you saw how one small root builds a whole family. You caught dictate wearing two hats, the verb that speaks an order and the noun that names the command, and you did not let it fool you. You know that credible has a Frown named doubtful and that authentic has one named fake, and you matched my formal words to Slang's on the register floor, where envision meets dream up and physician meets doc. Best of all, you can now tell an idiom from a simile from a metaphor, reading between the lines like a true detective, which most students cannot. Eight words, into your collection they go. Bravo. You said it plainly.
