Word of The Day

PLETHORA (PLETH-er-uh)
Overabundance or excess

The wide-eyed children were astonished at the plethora of presents Santa Clause brought them.
During the residential real estate down turn there were a plethora of homes on the market.

Plethora is commonly used to mean A LOT of something. While it does mean, and in most cases replaces A LOT, the definition is a bit more specific and means overabundance, surplus or oversupply.

Learn Something!
