It's time for a new "Word of the Day". May I suggest:
acuity
Acuity has to do with sharpness and smartness. Do you always get top grades in math? Then you have an acuity for numbers.
People often talk about "mental acuity" which is a fancy way of saying intelligence, brains, or smartness. There are specific kinds of acuity, too. As people become very old, they tend to lose their acuity in many areas, including their vision, which is one reason very old people don't drive as well. A 40-year-old quarterback isn't going to have the same acuity for seeing receivers and throwing the ball as a 25-year-old quarterback.
I heard a quote today that make me laugh, but then I thought about it and it was nice, here it is- Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something -Plato (Greek Philosopher) Take a minute to think about that. I am going to start doing a quote a day, give a yes or a no if you like this idea.
