Awkward is the most awkward.
So many times have I seen people misspell the word: awkard, akward, awckward, akword. Who can blame them? The letters fall so uncomfortably together. AWKWARD; so many peaks and slopes in a single word - one could ski down those hills. It isn't often that one sees a W-K-W pattern in words, and one's mouth protests in the stretch around the dirty consonants.
No one likes the lack of dexterity or the clumsy imperfections and failures; I can relate. The word itself is so absolutely awkward. But then again, so am I.
Ambivalent is the most ambivalent.
Auto-antonyms, that is, words which in and of themselves have two or more generally accepted meanings in the English language that directly or generally contradict each other. Such words are also known as antagonyms, contronyms, and words having self-contradictions. Many such contradefinitions arise from slang usage. Others develop as a result of their frequent use in sarcasm.
Ambivalent is to hold two strong contradictory feelings. Ambivalent is having no strong feeling. The word itself is so absolutely ambivalent. But then again, so am I.
Ambivalent and awkward: such a good summation of myself.
love, Leah
