I am now going to consult my iPhone and the built in dictionary to technically define the word OFFICIAL. Check out the image below - see how I highlighted the word official? Ok good. Now see the handy dandy arrow I drew? That’s a trick for another day. Anyway see how I pointed to the little arrow thing that indicates there is more to the menu? Good. Scroll down.

So in my iPhone, I can highlight any word - and find its definition but tapping the “more” arrow icon - as shown above. Dam . I have to do it again now to demonstrate. Lol! Ok the word to define is official .

So highlight the word then tap the black arrow to see additional menu choices. Then tap the choice labeled “look up”

As you can see, you will get this handy dandy dictionary tool! Yay! So it’s official. The word official officially doesn’t have much to do with an office, as I suspected. Why the heck doesn’t the word official have anything to do with it’s own root word - office????

I sincerely hoped I would find a better definition than I found. Oh well, I feel goofy now. I thought a big revelation would come from all this. Well, it didn’t. I just emphasized what we already know and that is the notion that the English language is pretty much a mixed up bag of sounds with definitions, and they come from many places. I conclude - it’s hard to define anything at all. That’s not news!

Sheesh. At least you may have learned the cool built In dictionary trick ... if you didn’t know it yet.

what’s your cool phone tool or trick?
