I love words that help you say things in new and fresh ways (sometimes I just can't help myself! ; ) Take for example the word DOMICILE \DAH-muh-syle or DOH-muh-syle\. It means a dwelling place; place of residence; home.
So why say, "welcome to my home" when you can say "welcome to my domicile!" Has a nicer ring to it, don't you think?! Interestingly "Domicile" traces to Latin "domus," meaning "home," and English speakers have been using it as a word for “home” since at least the 15th century. So grateful for the gift of words!

I am always amused by your "word" posts.
