We’ve had quite a bit of time on our hands lately, so as a team, we decided to paint one of our favorite objects 🎨 @jess__zap chose a Sand Dollar. What have y’all done with your free time?! #highplainsregister #HPR #painting #freetime #creativejuices
Did You Know? Pleonasm, which stems (via Late Latin) from the Greek verb pleonazein, meaning "to be excessive," is a fancy word for "redundancy." It's related to our words plus and plenty, and ultimately it goes back to the Greek word for "more," which is pleōn. Pleonasm is commonly considered a fault of style, but it can also serve a useful function. "Extra" words can sometimes be helpful to a speaker or writer in getting a message across, adding emphasis, or simply adding an appealing sound and rhythm to a phrase—as, for example, with the pleonasm "I saw it with my own eyes!" @merriamwebster #highplainsregister #HPR #wordoftheday #funfacts
With everything going on, we have found it to be so important to take some time to enjoy the little things. What little things have you been enjoying lately? 📖🤓 #highplainsregister #poetrybooks #relaxing #HPR

Happy Word Wednesday! 🤓 Did you know.... Confused about jibe and gibe? The distinction actually isn't as clear-cut as some commentators would like it to be. Jibe is used both for the verb meaning "to be in accord" or "agree" (as in "the results do not jibe with those from other studies") and for the nautical verb and noun referring to the act of shifting a sail from one side to the other ("jibe the mainsail," "a risky jibe in heavy seas"). Gibe is used as a verb and noun for derisive teasing or taunting. But jibe is also a recognized variant of gibe, so it too has teasing or taunting uses. Gibe has been used occasionally as a variant of jibe, but the use is not common enough to warrant dictionary entry, and is widely considered an error. #highplainsregister #HPR #wordwednesday #wordoftheday @merriamwebster
