in a resent, article John Macy
suggests- that-. it might be well “to

It i: of interest to examine som

doubtless presents prejudices, that

many would admit that too often

No..one would criticise the careful

ture With the position clearly in
mind, any study of such words as
those that Mr. Macy would avoid

“Crass" Mr, Macy calls a word
'wedded to stupidity." Despite Mr.
Rlaev's dislike .of crass, one imag
ines that there are occasions when
no other word will take its place.
Webster quotes that powerful phrase
from S.r Thomas Browne as an ex

ns applied to a sense of humor. Odd
ly enough, the person with a keen
sense of humor often receives hts
humor passively, not actively; he
appreciates the cutting wit of oth
ers. instead of having a keen-edge
wit himself.
“Intrigue” Without Authority.
For "intrigue " used as a verb in
the French sense, donner a penser
i for example. “The plot intrigued
us greatly"', Mr. Macy finds no au
thority in the dictionaries. "In a
recent supplement of New Words,
Webster defines it thus: "to arouse
the interest, desire, or curiosity of,
as by an engaging, beguiling, or
bafling quality; beguile."
Mr. Macy would use "meticulous"
only in the sense of "timid” not of
"exquisite, delicate, careful." He ad
mits that there is authority for the j
secondary meaning, "but our young- j
rr writers," he insists, ' are work
ing it to dentil. As a publishers ‘
reader, I hereby promise to reject
any novel in which it appears more '
than once. Webster’s New Interna- i
tional Dictionary is. nevertheless,
authority for this secondary use. It!
vays of the use “timid, fearful, that
it is obsolete, and gives as the com
mon meaning today "unduly or ex
•essively careful of small details or
'bout comparatively unimporant1
natters; financially scrupulous."
‘lund Ready For Morgue.
"Lurid " Mr. Macy regards as “a
oixid word to put in the morgue."
His objection here is that the word
"really means pale yellow. wan,
gray, quite the opposite of highly
colored.'' whereas many use of it as
If it meant "something like vivid
or highly colored "
Mr. Mary apparently verges on a
fallacy in his comment on this word
One would judge from what he says
here that a word may not legiti
mately change in meaning in the
course of time.
In actual fact, many words have
turned complete somersaults in the
progress of the years—knights, for
example, knave, sensual, villain,
caitiff, and others. According to
Webster lurid, in addition to the |
meaning allowed it by Mr. Maey, j
also signifies "appearing like glow- i
ing fire seen through or combined !
with cloud or smoke; ' and ns a i
fourth definition, Webster gives j
"brown tinged with red. ’ The word
is unquestionably overused, hat not
noticeably misused.
