Today’s “Word of the Day” is “minuscule“ and it is an adjective meaning “tiny, little, minute, very small; paltry, insignificant, negligible, inconsiderable”.
Example Sentence: The World Bank statistics indicate that India had 255 researchers per million people in 2017 — a minuscule fraction for its size and population, in contrast to 8,342 per million in Israel, 7,597 in Sweden and 7,498 in South Korea. Compared to 111 in the U.S. and 423 in China, India has only 15 researchers per 1,00,000 population.
