They take precedence of simple feasts only. In the ferial office nine psalms are said, and not twelve, as in the old order of the Breviary. This simplifies things and makes the ferial office shorter than the office of feasts. Etymology, nature and synonyms.
As to "epoch" and "period," I use them as synonyms to avoid repeating the same word. Rate of deposit and geological time: there no doubt I may have gone to an extreme, but my "twenty-eight million years" may be anything under 100 millions, as I state. There is an enormous difference between mean and maximum denudation and deposition. So, local subsidence might itself lead to very rapid deposition.
In some of Cotton Mather's, the name, Devil, or its synonyms, is mentioned ten times as often as that of the benign and blessed God. No wonder that alleged witchcrafts were numerous! Drake, in his History of Boston, says there were many cases there, about the year 1688.
There are surely words enough in the English language to express all the thoughts and ideas of the mind, and it is a sign of pure vulgarity to employ synonyms, the only remarkable part of which is that they derive their existence solely from vulgar sources.
Thus the names of the sons of Jacob typify each some moral quality, and these qualities together make the perfect man and the perfect nation. It may be noted, by the way, that all these values show traces of Hebrew etymology. Again, the synonyms in the Bible are to be carefully studied, while even particles and parts of words have their special value and importance.
"Well, of all the swank!" exclaimed the other incredulously. "What's that?" "Side, swell-headedness, dog, intolerable conceit er " "That'll do. You talk like a dictionary of synonyms." "You talk like a blooming idiot! Why, don't you know that the second team is nothing on earth but the 'goat' for the 'varsity?" "Yes, and the 'goat' butts pretty hard sometimes," chuckled Clint.
He was king of his company in the tavern bar at the 'Corner; and few days passed on which he did not enjoy that bad eminence, while compounding 'brandy-smash, 'rum-salad, 'whisky-skin, or some other of the various synonyms under which the demon of drink ruins people in Canada. But where did the captain find cash for this?
From the great richness of Italian we can treat a subject with far greater eloquence than a French writer; Italian abounds in synonyms, while French is lamentably deficient in this respect. Voltaire used to laugh at those who said that the French tongue could not be charged with poverty, as it had all that was necessary. A man may have necessaries, and yet be poor.
This "Synonym Stammerer" is storing up endless trouble for himself, however, for the mental strain of trying to remember and speak synonyms of hard words entails such a great drain upon his mind as to make it almost impossible to maintain the practice for any great length of tune. In this connection, let every stammerer be warned to avoid this practice of substitution of words.
As has already been noted, some psychologists have used the terms thinking and reasoning as synonyms, but such usage has resulted in confusion and has not been of practical value. It is only as the mental process desired becomes clearly conceived of, its connotations and denotation clearly defined, that it becomes a real goal towards Which a teacher or learner may strive.
