ÉCLAT

Today I got my first set of exam results in university. I thought that if I did the word éclat, then one of my lecturers might use the word in my feedback notes. Because ... y'know ... the universe works like that, doesn't it? Think positively and all that. But no. It doesn't. I got my exam results. Not one of my papers had the word éclat on it. Nuts.

ReplyDeleteFact is, social media is not at all totally automated, and you really have to log in every time you want to make new posts or upload files and photos. But, there are fail-safe ways to automate your social media page; one can make use of services like the HOOTSUITE and BUFFER to have a scheduled posting of images, text posts and links based on your preferred date and time. WordPress plugins may also be installed so that it could automatically send blog post links. mpsocial

ReplyDeleteECLAT! The new addition in my vocabulary of such a beautiful word; thanks to you. According to you, this word holds different meanings so can it be used in a sentence like “the best abstract writing services that I bought was received with great ECLAT?”. Another sentence that I have in mind is that “The sun rose with great ECLAT.”
