Abused, Confused, & Misused Words by Mary Embree

Not to be confused with:

the act of presenting information:

Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Did You Know?
Do you ever have presentiments, Mr. Flintwich?'
'I am not sure that I know what you mean by the term, sir,' replied that gentleman.
'Say, in this case, Mr. Flintwich, undefined anticipations of pleasure to come.'
'I can't say I'm sensible of such a sensation at present,' returned Mr. Flintwich,
with the utmost gravity.
Nothing sensational said here, perhaps,
but Mr. Flintwich shows a sensitivity to words that,
like "presentiment," are related to the Latin verb sentire, ("to feel").
He uses two of these words, and we've added three more.
The quote is from Charles Dickens' Little Dorrit,
and the words are "sensible," "sensation," "sensational," "sensitivity," and "sense."
