Today’s Word
And here’s a word that I dislike.
proselytize verb
1. To induce someone to convert to one’s own religious faith. 2. To induce someone to join one’s own political party or to espouse one’s doctrine.
What is most irksome, is when people who do proselytize, don’t see that as what they’re doing.
And if I haven’t mentioned it, I love my American Heritage Word-a-Day dictionary. Too bad I don’t care for their on-line dictionary.
