This week's Word of the Week is:
Insouciance
1. The quality of being insouciant; lack of care or concern; indifference2. Blithe lack of concern; nonchalance
3. the cheerful feeling you have when nothing is troubling you
Insouciance - it sure is a good feeling! Just be careful not to let it rule your life, because it's important to get hot and bothered about something every once and a while.
I know a lot of people LOVED fishfrog's submission of imitate v. intimate. And, it was a cool submission; I loved it too. There were several words I wanted to pick, but only ONE could be this week's word.

So, what's the proper pronunciation of the word of the week?
to answer my own question: according to merriam webster, there are two ways, which I will call the non french and french ways.
non-french: in-SUE-see-ints
french: eh(n)-soos-YAWNss
When, IRL I had a conversation about this word, I pronounced it the french way and was mocked by the anntiblogger for it.
