[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]alight[/quote] Isn't "alright" just the informal version of "all right", not a previous, older version? Like anywayS vs anyway.[/quote] the word i posted is alight (no R). It means to land on (in the quickest definition). It can mean a bird landing on a branch, and my favorite and even less common use is to land on an idea. [/quote] DP. I love "alight". The imagery it evokes is so graceful. When I think of "alight", I think of Nike of Samothrace alighting upon the ship prow to announce naval victory. It's an incredible piece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_Victory_of_Samothrace [img]https://cdn.kastatic.org/ka-perseus-images/2cf52ab28986b020a62af0bb4ce00fd36326e667.jpg[/img][/quote]
