I was in the Cafe recently, eating alone and blogging on my laptop. Two men sitting near me were deep in a philosophical discussion of words and ideas. One of them said "extrapolate," and I actually smiled to myself. That was when this "wordy" person started composing this blog post.
Word of the Day
ex·trap·o·late / ikˈstrapəˌlāt / verb = extend the application of a method or conclusion (based on statistics) by assuming that these existing trends will continue. For example, if I encounter only friendly faces in a town I am visiting, I may extrapolate that all the folks in that town are friendly.
