I've been a little stymied about what to write this week, not because I don't have anything to say about words. I LOVE WORDS! Words are my currency! My brain can't remember names or places without seeing them written. I can't pray without a steady stream of words running through my head. My dilemma: how can I possibly choose? Instead, I'm going to riff off of Terese's post. When I searched Google for an image associated with "braggadocious," Google images presented page after page of pictures of Donald Trump, interspersed with a few of him debating Hillary Clinton and a few of Pee Wee Herman (???). I'm not kidding! Check it out here . So I did some research on Donald Trump's vocabulary. According to Newsweek, Trump speaks at about the fourth grade level, according to the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Assessment. In fact, 14 presidents spoke at a higher grade level. The top three: Obama, Carter, and Hoover. This is not surprising to any of us. Remember his bragging that his success in life was the result of "being, like, really smart"? Or that he was "a very excellent student"? "I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star."? Donald Trump is a master at speaking to the elementary school crowd! I guess he's grooming his 2024 base already. Who knows? It might work, unless more salacious gossip makes the rounds during recess between now and then. We can only hope. And in case you were still wondering what braggadocious means, according to Google, it means Donald Trump! --Janice
