Big Word Wednesday: Impunity

So last week's words came from a radio commercial that I couldn't figure out. I finally deducted what they were trying to say..."storied." This gives us an important lesson: when using big words, enunciate. I can say with impunity that enunciation is king when it comes to trying out big words.

Oh? Impunity? You caught that?

Yes, that is our word this week.

impunity. noun. [im-pyoo-ni-tee]. exemption from punishment. immunity from deterimental effects, as of an action. with impunity: with no unpleasant consequences, with no care or heed for such consequences.
  • A successful career marked by impunity from early mistakes
  • The security forces continued to enjoy virtual impunity  for past human rights violation.
  • Ending impunity is what we can do that no one else can.
  • Today the internet is a lawless society; hackers can break into computers with relative impunity.
Don't for get to enunciate!

Ciao,
kc
