Word For Today (i)

Word for today is:

(and for those of you who're musical, the notes to sing 'Word For Today' to are:

'Word For Today'
G A G C )

'Doryphore' (DOR-ee-phor)

Which means a person who draws attention to the errors made by others. Especially in an annoying manner.

E.g

"You've missed a bit"

"Why don't you grab a paintbrush rather than going all Doryphore on me"

I'm excited by little things, like shiny plastic and new friends. I go to the beach in winter.

You're welcome @Stablish and thanks for the re-post too ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Does pointing

Does pointing out that someone's a doryphore make you a doryphore?

@jacooo hahaha, not unless you do it on a regular basis

@Clairabethy that's alright then ๐Ÿ˜„

nice theme tune lol

thanks for explaining ๐Ÿ˜„

@jacooo lol. I have this habit of pointing out the difference between 'less' and 'fewer' that I feel is a bit Doryphore! @Chinchillapancake25 glad

@jacooo lol, I have this habit of pointing out the difference between 'less' and 'fewer' that I fear is a little doryphore! @Chinchillapancake25 glad you liked the tune๐Ÿ˜„

@Clairabethy I can understand that. Although in all fairness, it's a fairly easy mistake to make ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I fear I maybe a bit of a doryphore, good to have a proper word for it !!

@lionotribo insight is the first step ๐Ÿ˜„

I believe phonetically it should be dor-ee-for.

@overskill I blame the Internet which told me different. And I thought you could believe everything you read in the Internet ๐Ÿ˜”

@Clairabethy I was just being a doryphore.

@overskill hahaha- so my faith in the Internet as an accurate source can be restored?!

@Clairabethy Google does indeed know all.

@overskill Indeed wise one ๐Ÿ˜Š
