Lovely

Lovely /luvlee/ adj. Exquisitely beautiful. 2. Colloq. Pleasing; delightful. n. (pl. -lies) colloq. Pretty woman. Adj. 1. Good-looking, pretty, handsome, attractive, bewitching, ravishing, gorgeous. 2. Satisfying, enjoyable nice, pleasant. That’s what the Oxford American Desk Dictionary says about the word lovely. Webster’s agrees with definition although it is not as extensive. I would agree with this definition and say that the word lovely is not used extensively in contemporary language, not because it is inappropriate to the circumstance, but as is the case for much of the English language, it is not part of the average persons working vocabulary. This is where generally I would begin a social commentary of sorts, but I will refrain. This word is itself quite lovely...I can't describe the vast number of things that come to mind when I see or hear this word. Sunsets, My Best Friend's Wedding, Smiles and it goes on and on... If you can think of things that you find 'Lovely' post them on my comments I'd love to hear them
