I've seen this word around more often, I think, than I've ever seen it before...considering I don't think I've ever seen it before. It was on the NaNoWriMo homepage this week, as this is the fourth and last full week of the month of reckless noveling abandon. It was on a friend's blog in reference to the release of the seventh Harry Potter movie into theaters last weekend.
And it was in my life, as this is the penultimate semester before I finally venture across the pond to Europe.
And as I wrote the penultimate essays for many of my classes that require gigantor final essays.
And as fall made its penultimate attempt to stay alive yesterday, before finally giving way to freezing temperatures and a snowy forecast for today and tomorrow.
I actually have no idea if I used "penultimate" correctly in any of those contexts, as I haven't yet bothered to look up its exact definition and am relying entirely on context clues, which are sketchy at best in this situation.
Forgive me. It was so delicious, so sweet, and so...long. And I am sesquipedalian in nature.
Tune in next week for: Sesquipedalian, and oldie, but a goodie.

EDIT: "penultimate" means "second to last." So I was wrong. Quite wrong. About all of this.
