A scholarly person is one who has read many books; an educated person is one who knows what is popular among people. Do not try to be scholarly or educated, but be yourself.

accentuate • \ak-SEN-shu-wayt\ • verb

Example Sentence:

Did you know?
When you "accentuate" something, you put an "accent" (or emphasis) on it. So it will come as no surprise to learn that etymologists have traced "accentuate" back to "accentus," the Latin word for "accent." "Accentus," in turn, combines the prefix "ad-" with "cantus," meaning "song." Other descendants of "accentus" in English include "accent" itself, as well as "accentual" ("of, relating to, or characterized by accent").
