Default Word Power
I am starting this thread with an intention to improve our vocabulary in a unique way.

Hope it would be beneficial to all of the CSS aspirants .


I will start with a word ,elucidate its meaning and use it in a sentence with proper connotation (imp thing to keep in mind whilst writing). Now another member would follow my post using a different word with its meaning, and usage in a sentence.

The word that you'd use must be starting with an alphabet which is either the first or the last alphabet of the previous word (fun whilst learning). The word must clarify itself in the sentence you are using. One must not ram his/her head against the wall in order to understand the meaning of it.

Active members should use only one word in a day , otherwise it would be a futile effort to learn all of them.
Now let me start

Meticulous : to be careful about details etc

He arranged the documents with meticulous care, making sure that each one was in correct order

@nida...
thanks for this word...really
but u have missed a point...
The word that you'd use must be starting with an alphabet which is either the first or the last alphabet of the previous word (fun whilst learning).

so your word starts with "I"...hhmmmmm
it should have been a word starting with"E" or "T"
................
but chalo... next time...
