Sharing bits of Canada 'eh🇨🇦🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Pencil Crayon
What do you call a wood-cased colouring instrument? If you're Canadian, you likely say 'pencil crayon.' Most Americans, on the other hand, call them 'colored pencils.' This simple two-word term is a classic piece of Canadian vocabulary, learned in elementary school art classes from coast to coast. It's a small but distinct marker of Canadian English. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #SchoolDays

Word of the Day📕 Word of the Day: putative
putative • \PYOO-tuh-tiv\ • adjective
Putative is a formal word used to describe something that is generally believed, supposed, or assumed to be something specified. It is always used before a noun.
// The group's putative leader was conspicuously absent from the meeting.
📝 Examples:
"... the painting is swept up in questions of identity, provenance, authenticity and putative value." — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times, 31 Oct. 2025
📜 Did you know?
There's no need to make assumptions about the root behind putative—we know it comes from a form of the Latin verb putare, which means "to consider" or "to think." Putative is a rather formal word that has been part of English since the 15th century. Like apparent, presumed, and ostensible, it leaves room for a smidgen of doubt: a putative ally will very probably be there for you, and a putative successor is very likely to be the next one in charge, but life offers no guarantees in either case.
