THURSDAY'S CHALLENGE

AMOUNT/NUMBER

What is the difference in usage of the words "amount" and "number".
(This is very similar to the use of the words "fewer" and "less".)


TODAY'S WORD

The word for today is "lugubrious".
("Lugubrious" is not a common word. I just like the sound of it; it reminds me of the accents in the Sopranos TV series.)

Define "lugubrious" and try to use it in a sentence.
