Word of the Day: Convention
In yesterday’s post, I talked about the word convention, and I realized that most people probably did not understand this usage of the word.
Of course, a convention is quite a large meeting of many people with similar occupations or interests.
I, however, was not talking about a large meeting.
I mentioned convention yesterday with an entirely different meaning.
Convention can also mean a custom.
For example, It is a standard convention in Japan to eat sushi with chopsticks and not dip the rice in the soy sauce.
It would be best if you dipped the fish in the sauce – not the rice.
