DEFINITIONS

A definition is what defines a word, what a word means. Each word has it's own intentions and meaning. So while having a conversation or an argument, it's important ti use the right words with the right definitions. Knowing the definition of strange words can expand your vocabulary. For every word,  there can be several definitions. If you take a look in the dictionary there can be multiple  definitions to define the word. It is a good idea to get a sense of the definition and use the word appropriately. The main role of the definition is to explain how to use a word. Knowing how to use a word will help you in arguments and writing stuff like essays. An argument that uses the wrong definition of a word will be considered a weak or false argument. Knowing the right definitions and the right ways to use the word would make the argument more effective and strong. I found the definition really useful, it's something that can help in all aspects of your daily life not just with arguments and writing.

  1. This was a good choice to write about. I completely agree about the beginning when you say in order to get your point across, you need to know the definition of the words you are saying. I definetly try to say things to people and realize my point is not being made or I am not being taken seriously because I am not using the right words. So definition is a great topic for someone to post a blog about even if it is pretty clean cut.
