Today’s “Word of the Day” is academia and it is a noun meaning “the environment or community in which education and/or research takes place, especially universities, (colleges and schools); the academic world”.
Example Sentence: Academia is considered to be a noble area and different from its for-profit counterparts. It is assumed that academia values the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. Sadly, many academicians do not share this aim. In my limited experience, I have come across only a handful of academicians whose true passion is the pursuit of knowledge. Most others do not attribute any value to knowledge or wisdom.
