Jan,
The learning continues. Bless you!
In your paragraph about imminent and eminent, you describe eminent as outstanding or noteworthy. What then is eminent domain? It seems to be a legal term of someone stealing away property from others for their own gain. Your thoughts?
I did not know that a horde of people is a crowd or mass of people. Good to know.
Good to know about callus versus callous. I thought callous had different meanings.
I must have read this before because I realized I was using anxious incorrectly when I mean to say how excited I am. Result is I've been self-correcting ever since. Thanks!
You crack me up with the reference to high school versing - going to a poetry contest. I like how you find humor in words.

I had to look that one up. According to Wikipedia, the phrase 'eminent domain' is from dominium eminens (Latin for supreme lordship).JudySauer wrote:Jan,

So the Latin eminens gives us the more common meaning of eminent (outstanding or noteworthy) and the meaning in the legal expression (supreme).
