So i was at school today, and in English class, my teacher handed us a book and told us we were going to start doing spelling the second half of the year. OK…
i was looking over the list and the last word on it was:
vex
and the definition for it was:
to annoy, to anger; to confuse, to baffle
It was pretty interesting to see this, because that is exactly what the vex system is.
