RE: One word each day: Day 1

in #words • 8 years ago (edited)

The meaning of some words have changed so much over time that people forget what they actually meant. It goes the same for specific phrases like: "Great minds think alike, but fools rarely differ." Lots of people don't know the second part of that phrase.

        Now I've heard of that second part, but barely remember it and haven't heard anyone really say that second part. =O Probably it's just too long and people get lazy saying the whole thing. =D
