April Fool's Day



Is it "April Fool's Day" or "April Fools' Day?"
I know it doesn't matter anymore, not
really, but I still care. How many fools
are we talking about, here? One, or many?
I hope it's many, because that's generally
more fun. While too many cooks spoil the
broth, there's no such thing as too many fools.
Let idiocy reign!

From 1700s Italy, "dilettante" originally meant "lover of the arts," but became a pejorative when professionalism took hold during the 18th century. A dilettante became a mere lover of art as opposed to one who earned a living from it. Today, the word refers to a poseur, or one pretending to be an artist. synonyms: dabbler, sciolist, dilettanteish, dilettantish, sciolistic Usage Examples “It’s better up here away from the phonies and the dilettantes. Here I can do what I want and no one comes to sneer. You’re not a sneerer, are you?” - Flowers for Algernon ‘There were no scientists in Stuart England,’ we are told, ‘and all the men we have grouped together under that heading were in their varying degrees dilettantes.’ - The Invention of Science Charles wasn’t a dilettante; he was serious about the breeding and created his own new lines of pigeons. - Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith source: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/dilettante
