Saturdays, as you know, are a bit of a mixed bag around here! While I’ll mostly be posting updates on the past week, sharing quotes and ideas from the week, and providing insights into the freelance life, I might also occasionally slip in something like a word of the day—just for the fun of it (and, of course, the opportunity to constantly learn more!).
I quite like today’s word. From the Canadian Oxford English Dictionary:
syllogism (noun)
1. a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn from two given or assumed propositions (premises): a common or middle term is present in the two premises but not in the conclusion, which may be invalid, e.g. all trains are long; some buses are long; therefore some buses are trains: the common term is long.
2. deductive reasoning as distinct from induction.
I am better for this. Truly 😉
Heehee!
