EASY! EASY!

MEDIUM/MEDIA

"Medium" and "media" are overused and often misused. What is the difference between the two?

TODAY'S WORD

The word for today is "cataclysm".

Define "cataclysm" and use it in a sentence.


TIP OF THE DAY

When defining a word, using the same word to define the word is not allowed; for example, "perturbation is the state of being perturbed," does not honestly define the word.

I found the following in the Letters to the Editor section of today's Windsor Star.
"...when we saw an adult eagle leave it's observation deck..."
and
"Turning Point opened it's doors....."
It would appear that even the editors of this page do not know the correct possessive form of "it".
This appeared in the Editorial Opinion column of the Windsor Star a few days ago.
"... when things are going good..."
This newspaper is getting worse!
