Appreciate - 'prE-shE-"At, verb.1 a : to grasp the nature, worth, quality, or significance of b : to value or admire highly c : to judge with heightened perception or understanding : be fully aware of d : to recognize with gratitude The word appreciate really has me captivated.It has, no doubt, been invented/created so that certain groups of people at certain times will make people feel bad about themselves. Take for example," You don't appreciate what you have been taught/given, etc".
Makes sense right? The person in question should have more gratitude and such.
But check this," People don't appreciate ball-games as real sports" or "You can't appreciate my drawing planes"
<<(psst. no pun intended for the latter sentence)>>
Anyway, the sentence has the effect of making someone feel that if you don't feel football or tennis is a real sport or me drawing planes is not a real art, then you're a loser of sorts and should go in a little corner and reflect about your unappreciativeness.
Oh well.
That's the English language for you.
Gotta love it,
if you can speak it properly.
