Buzzzzz buzzzz
Hello,
Buzz, buzz buzz buzzzz. I'm a bee, I'm a beeee! You are bees and I am a bee!
Todays word is melittology. What a strange word! Could it be, the study of melits? Or maybe littering. Or even you! Melittology. Here's a hint.
Buzzzzz.
Guessed it?
That's right- bees!
Mellittology means the study of all bees. Apiology is the study of honeybees. What about Mr. Solitary or Ms. Bumblebee?
Mellittology is a brach of Entomology, the study of animals. So, apiology is in mellittology which is in entomology. Confused?
So am I!
In a sentence:
The man taught mellittology.
What a curious man!

P.S I was away doing secret stuff. Did you find all the hidden words in the wallpaper? Hmmm...

Paternal Love and Google Love
Hello All Fathers and Readers,
As you may know, today is fathers day in Australia so today's word is Paternal. I know it is not obscure but we still don't use it that often. We commonly use, 'maternal' to refer to the mother however rarely use, paternal' to refer to the father.
In a sentence:
As today is Fathers Day, all fathers should show paternal love to their children.
Happy Fathers Day!!!
Today is also the day that Google was made by Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. Happy 13th birthday Google! *blows out thirteen candles*

Why Not Stick With Purple?
Hello,
Today I am testing the new Blogger Interface. It's rather streamlined and orange. Google seems to just LOVE orange!
Anyway, I missed yesterday; I had to do homework! But as this is not a daily blog, it doesn't matter.
Today's word is aubergine. Or, eggplant. It refers to either an eggplant or the colour of an eggplant.why couldn't the just stick with 'eggplant' and 'purple'? O I can add it to the blog of course!
In a sentence:
The door was a shiny, aubergine colour.
Well, see you tomorrow with another extension pack! Bye!
