Following up on Words I Don’t Know. Defining words I should know, that I pretend to know, but don’t really know.
soporific, adj. – the quality of something that causes sleepiness both literally and figuratively.
quotidian, adj. – something that recurs every day, can be extrapolated to mean commonplace or mundane.
fungible, adj. – can be replaced by something of equal value.
plenary, adj. – regarding an assembly or conference where all the members are in attendance
epistemology, n – a philosophy or science that studies knowledge and how knowledge is acquired.
probity, n – the quality of having a good character, morals, and being an all around decent person.
Hmmm… I have used the word “fungible” more times than I’d like to admit over the last two years. It’s a very useful word for a bureaucrat.

I still don’t fully understand it. I guess being an archivist means working with unique items that are non-fungible in their nature.
