Exquisite Language Evaluation and Table Topic at Bishan Toastmasters Club
At Bishan Toastmasters Club in Singapore last week (January 2016) I was invited to be Language Evaluator, which we would call Grammarian in England. My first thought was that word of the day could be Oxymoron, a word used by best-selling Singaporean writer and former English teacher Catherine Lim, describing her novel title Howling Silence.
However, the club members might find that too difficult and obscure. I was given a dictionary and found the word 'exquisite', a positive word, which proved popular.
To my delight, I won a ribbon for best table topic.
