not much to write about tonight, so I thought a word lesson would work. My sister once told me about an argument she had with someone about the word Unkempt. The other girl swore it was Unkept and that my sister was nuts. Sorry, Other girl, you're wrong!
unkempt
: [uhn-kempt]
adjective
1.
not combed: unkempt hair.
2.
uncared-for or neglected; disheveled; messy: unkemptclothes; an unkempt lawn.
3.

Well, your sister showed her - hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about it to tell you the truth; the word doesn't usually come up in my vocabulary. At least I now know in case it does or if I find my self in a spelling bee!
