Word the Day!

Word of the Day: prolix.

1. unduly prolonged or drawn out : too long
2. marked by or using an excess of words

prolixity - noun
prolixly - adverb

I learned this word today while reading some work by Plato. He was talking about Socrates...well, technically Socrates was speaking. The gist of the quote is, 'I'll try to be short but that probably won't happen.'
