(Day 3 - #Visionary)
*Not a contemporary usage of the word “visionary,” imho. ♥️
TK-421 Wow, that‘s interesting! I‘m accustomed to the popular usage (keen foresight) so I hadn‘t realized VISIONARY could mean the opposite (unreal, imaginary). It‘s a contranym! 5y
gradcat @TK-421 I know! Ruskin‘s usage is so literal! 5y
