Words of the Day (18.07.2024)
Carcanet (archaic) is ' an ornamental necklace, chain, collar, or headband '. This word even is not included in every dictionary. I encountered it in The Fellowship of the Ring in Bilbo's song about Eärendil, which Bilbo sang in Rivendell.
Concordat is an agreement between the Holy See and a state about the recognition and privileges of the Catholic Church in that state and secular matters that concern the Church. Concordats, signed after World War I with successor states of disintegrated empires, comprised about 40% of the total 78 concluded concordats.
Funnily enough, in 1933, on 20th July, was concluded a concordat with Nazi Germany. Although the state was then officially governed by President Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler, after becoming a chancellor in January of 1933, was the main initiator of the convention, seeking moral legitimacy for his regime that the concordat might give. Surprisingly, Reichskonkordat is still in force today.
To hedgehop is 'to fly an aeroplane close to the ground and to rise over obstacles as they appear'. The latter sheds light on the word's etymology.
Sayonara (informal AmE, from Japanese ' goodbye ') is a farewell, especially used with humour when referring to Japan.
Unremitting (formal/literary, from Latin remittere 'send back, restore') means 'never stopping', for example, unremitting pain.
I cannot use italics here, as I could in the original: https://t.me/english_grail/81. Please check the post before correcting the text.

what you've written is not wrong, I think this makes it a little clearer
Concordats,Of the 78 concluded concordats, roughly 40% were signed after World War I with successor states of disintegrated empires, comprised about 40% of the total 78 concluded concordats.
I think this is much clearer.
Funnily enough, in 1933, on 20th July, a concordat was concluded a concordat with Nazi Germany.
"was concluded a concordat" is clunky
Although the state was then officially governed by President Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler, after becoming (who became a chancellor in January of 1933,) was the main initiator of the convention,. He was seeking moral legitimacy for his regime that the concordat might give.
This sentence was a little difficult to follow.
To hedgehop is 'to fly an aeroplane close to the ground and to rise over obstacles as they appear'.
I'd say "plane" rather than "aeroplane".

AmE?

Nicely written, good job! You might find the etymology of "endorse" interesting.

Thanks for the corrections! 'AmE' is an abbreviation for 'American English'.
