Words of the Day (19.07.2024)
Currente calamo (Latin 'with running pen') means 'without reflection'. This expression is rarely used, even in literary texts.
Décolletté, nota bene, is an adjective meaning, predictably, (when speaking of a garment) 'low-necked' and 'wearing a low-necked garment'. It is pronounced /ˌdeɪ kɒlˈteɪ/. The word came from French: from past participle of décolleter to bare the neck, equivalent to dé- de- + collet collar ( -et ) + -er. Funnily enough, the archaic English verb to decollate means 'to behead someone'.
Décolletage is what we in Russia typically call décolletté. It is a noun.
Groats are 'the hulled [with removed outer part through drying and softening] kernels of various cereal grains, such as oats, wheat, rye, and barley'. They are used as ingredients in soup, porridge, and bread. For instance, bulgur is parboiled [partially boiled] and cut durum wheat groats.
The Malagasy are 'a group of Austronesian-speaking ethnic groups indigenous to the island country of Madagascar'.
I cannot use italics here, as I could in the original: https://t.me/english_grail/85. Please check the post before correcting the text.

Thanks! I'd be glad to get your feedback on my other posts which are less fragmented and clearly can be improved in one way or another.
