ok, todays odd word of the day is ‘retreat’.
let’s look at this word, ok?
suppose i give you a little gift.
a little treat, say, a tiny pig made out of chocolate.
and you enjoy said chocolate pig.
so then i give you another chocolate pig.
have i just re-treated you?
here is treat #1: a chocolate pig.
oh, you enjoyed it? ok, let me retreat you with a second chocolate pig.
english is a very confusing language.
