Vocabulary word of the day:

Grue.

The word has several meanings, as any word generally does, but there is one in particular I found interesting.

Grue, in the Welsh language, is a term that is used for both the color “blue” & the color “green.”  The language does not distinguish between the two colors.

I found this particularly interesting because a new era is being referred to as being “green” (meaning eco-friendly).  This concept could be lost to some cultures simply because they don’t have the words to describe the movement.
