Writing Tip 21: “The Grisly Grizzly”

It’s springtime, a time for frolicking amidst fields of flowers, listening to the singing birds, and walking in the woods surrounded by the smells of fresh air and newly budding branches. It’s also a time to watch out for groggy bears coming out of hibernation. A tip: remember “grisly” means “gruesome or revolting”; “grizzly” is a type of bear. What you do when you see one, we don’t really know, but just don’t insult the animal by calling it hideous. You don’t look so hot when you just wake up either.
