I have finally learnt the difference between weary and wary. Now I have to improve their pronounciation which is also a challenge.

> Museography: the systematic description of objects in museums I quite literally learned it today, right here on Reddit, as I was recommending a museum in Paris and someone said that its museography was bad.

[Palimpsest ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palimpsest). I read it The Handmaid's Tale, and then Hank Green used it to describe one of Jupiter's moons a week or so later. I hope I get some chance to use it myself one day, and I especially hope I remember it.

Caroline (adj): Relating to Charles. Like Charles 1 of England or the Carolingian Empire, stemming from Charles, grandfather of Charlemagne. Or just a regular Charles, although uncommon, this was the quote that did it (about friendship): >Lamb says somewhere that if, of three friends (A, B, and C), A should die, then B loses not only A but “A’s part in C,” while C loses not only A but “A’s part in B.” In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets. Now that Charles is dead, I shall never again see Ronald’s reaction to a specifically Caroline joke. Far from having more of Ronald, having him “to myself” now that Charles is away, I have less of Ronald. Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, “Here comes one who will augment our loves.” For in this love “to divide is not to take away.” Of course the scarcity of kindred souls – not to mention practical considerations about the size of rooms and the audibility of voices – set limits to the enlargement of the circle; but within those limits we possess each friend not less but more as the number of those with whom we share him increases. In this, Friendship exhibits a glorious “nearness by resemblance” to Heaven itself where the very multitude of the blessed (which no man can number) increases the fruition which each has of God. For every soul, seeing Him in her own way, doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest. That, says an old author, is why the Seraphim in Isaiah’s vision are crying “Holy, Holy, Holy” to one another (Isaiah VI, 3) The more we thus share the Heavenly Bread between us, the more we shall all have.” -CS Lewis "The Four Loves"

I just heard the word **whithersoever** for the first time today and immediately fell in love with it. I’d love to use it, but I’m afraid I’m a few centuries too late for that.

**Angary:** the legal right of a sovereign state (usually during wartime) to take property, e.g. foreign ships docked in its waters, for its own use. One such instance was the French passenger steamship *Normandie,* which was taken by the United States for use as a troopship during World War II; unfortunately the vessel caught fire and sank in the process.
