> It’s one of my favourite words

Wait, shouldn't it be the second one, right after _petrichor_?



A this point I'm just waiting for a Webster article how some people understand "one of" to mean "the only" instead of "a member of the set of". This seems to be getting more common


Good point, stupid me!


In my opinion, that's a very ugly word for such a beautiful smell.


What's ugly about "petrichor"???


My opinion, of course. But it’s not pleasant looking or sounding.
