WORD POWER TODAY 

We live in age of constant oral and written expressions. In a time when our knowledge is increasing with the breathless speed, particularly in specialized areas, it is important that we understood each other by having a better comprehension of some “old” words, “new” words, most of which are “borrowed” but always with every possible effort to present the “true” origins and current usage of those words. This is what Word Power Today is all about.
