Word of the Day (lunacy)-03DEC22

Today’s “Word of the Day” is lunacy” and it is a noun meaning “foolishness, stupidity, madness, insanity, nonsense, silliness, absurdity, senselessness, extreme folly, eccentricity, irrationality, illogicality”.

Example Sentence: Bit by bit, reality is succeeding where rhetoric (and statistical projections) failed. No longer are opponents of Brexit forced to make the case that in a world as interconnected as ours, cutting ties makes no sense. Or that walling yourself off from a trading bloc made up of your nearest neighbours – so that it is harder both to sell your stuff and buy their stuff – is obvious economic lunacy. Reality is making that case instead, day in and day out.

This word is present in The Guardian article The reality of Brexit is biting hard. Poor people are suffering most – and now everyone can see it and click here to read it.
