Thursday Grammar: Nonplussed

I don’t know what people are thinking when the use the word “nonplussed” to mean the opposite of “moved” or “impressed”. Maybe that those things are “plusses” and the person is not any of them.

The word “nonplussed” means “surprised”, “bewildered”, “at a loss.” It’s the opposite of “unmoved.”

Next Week: A very good post, but not the penultimate.
