Learn-ding

ger•und
n. grammar
  1. (in certain languages, as Latin) a form regularly derived from a verb and functioning as a noun, having in Latin all case forms but the nominative, as Latin dicendī gen., dicendō, dat., abl., etc., “saying.”
  2. the English -ing form of a verb when functioning as a noun, as writing in Writing is easy.
  3. a form similar to the Latin gerund in meaning or function.
I learned this word today. I can say pretty confidently that I’d never heard it before. Now I know it and now I know how to use it…sort of. Actually, I can use it 96% of the time, according to my work training test score.

I was just…refreshed that there was still more to learn.
