Apropos is one of my favorite words. It is French, ergo classy. It sounds funny. And it's very useful. Not everyone, however, is a fan of that word.
Gak made fun of me for using that word in Chicago and said that "it sounds like it should be italicized." Although he did concede that Professor Franco also used the word. I'm OK with having things in common with Franco.
Just last night, I commented that Charlene's Micah 6:8 shirt was apropos of the occasion and she said, "That's old school. That's such a 90's word."
I don't know what either of these two kids' problems are. Apropos was a fine Wordly Wise word in 6th grade and it will continue to be a part of my extensive vocabulary.
