If you want to showcase some in your own novels, I will allow it, thoug that is optional?

Nope, I don’t have a favorite. They’re all good. But of course, “military intelligence” is classic.

Have you ever used some in your own stories?

The only one I can think of at the moment is blacklight. I’d have to read over my stories again to know if I used any, because I’ve honestly forgotten.

The words

Supernatural
and
Extraordinary

and their meanings are oxymorons

Supernatural: so, what, you get to the utmost level of natural, so natural that suddenly it’s just fantastical?

Extraordinary: so, what, you get to the utmost level of ordinary, so ordinary, that suddenly it’s just beyond ordinary and somehow super special and fantastical?

How does that even make sense, English? :crazy_face:

How would you change it, if you could?

Supernatural
could be
Superweird or Supertastical

Extraordinary
could be
Extraspectacular or Extracular

That’s what I would do :stuck_out_tongue:
