There's no escaping it--WeirdNet is just...bizarre.

WeirdNet is silent on imbued, but weirdly normal on imbue.

Now I'm curious what Weirdnet will say about the word imbued. Guess there's only one way to find out.

I read inculcate in a textbook and didn't know what it meant, but loved it anyway because it sounded like milk & honey - I walked around dropping it into sentences here and there, because yeah - it sounds like a smell of an all-day Sunday dinner, so says jimtoole. Then one day a cruel friend inculcated me into the true meaning of inculcate and I was crushed. It seriously has a discrepancy between how cool it sounds and how cool it is.
