Word of the Day will include any interesting word I heard or read during the day.
I will be using my handy dandy REAL dictionary called: "Webster's New World College Dictionary".
Sept. 19 - intertextual (adj.) - of or having to do with the links between one literary work and another
Example: In the Simpsons Episode 14 Season 9 called "Das Bus", the writers based this episode loosely on the novel "The Lord of the Flies." I actually remember reading this book in Grade 8. All I can remember is a whole bunch of kids get trapped on an island somehow, as well as the significant conch shell.
I heard this word in class today, however, I heard it pronounced inner-textual. Well, two birds one stone: I learned how to actually spell it, and what on earth it means!
