Courtly

If someone lives like a queen. They might live courtly. That means elegant. So, their house might be elegant or pretty. Now, if you are Indian and you live or have visited India, you might have seen some Indian palaces that are very beautiful. For history to know, lots of queens and kings were able to rule India only when India was under the British Rule. After the British went to their country all kings and queens were living in ordinary homes but still with courtly dresses. OK, bye! I'll give you a link to learn more history about India.

Counterfeit

Do you know what counterfeiting means? It means to imitate. Do you know what imitate means. It means to copy someone in what they're doing or saying. Have you done it once in a while? I only do it once in a while. So, that I don't irritate anyone. Here are some sentence examples:
1.Their wives sent him baskets of chickens and ducks, and were lavish, it was said, of favours of a more tender kind; for in gallantry at least, the counterfeit was a not unworthy representative of the original.
2. And I had inadvertently chosen a time to cash the check when its worth as a counterfeit could be tested.
 Both sentences might mean different counterfeits. I will write the meanings:
1. To make a copy of, usually with the intent to defraud; forge
2. To make a pretense of
3. To carry on a deception; dissemble
Those are probably a few of  the other meanings used in the sentences. Ok, bye! Have an Early Happy Halloween because Halloween is tomorrow.

The rest are in Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary.
Ok? Let's talk a little about counter now. Why are there so many definitions? It's just weird. Right?

Corrode

Guess what this word means! From which word does it have a little bit. Rodent. It has the "rode" part. So, if some rat or small rodent  left a little gnawing mark on a block of cheese, you would say it corroded the cheese. Or if  metal wore away by chemical reaction, you would've said the chemical reaction corroded the metal.  The other meaning is that if you wear away something gradually anything,not a specific item. Ok, bye! Oh yeah! and this whole week is Halloween week!

A covention is kind of like a treaty. A treaty is a formal agreement between two or more states or countries in reference to peace, alliance, commerce, or other international relations. Ok. No more sentence examples for now. Let's get into Social Studies a little. I said a convention is a treaty. So, if Africa and America sign a convention, and in that treaty it says that America will give peace to Africa or will not make Africans, slaves, they have to agree with that.

So, for instance the principal leaves the school, then he/she wants someone to take his/her place. He needs to find a constituent. That is a person that the principal authorizes his/her to take his/her place. So, the new principal that the previous principal authorizes would be a constituent. But a constituent isn't a person that nobody authorizes. Remember that! Or else you'll get mixed up!

Constellation

Guess what? I have two birthdays. HA! GOT YOU! I don't celebrate both of them though. I  also don't get to turn two years more than how old I am. It's just this:
