Welcome to Day 6 of my Learn-A-Word series. If you missed Day 1, there's a contest on there to win a share of SBI just by using the words of the day in a sentence in comments. I will chose the winner in 2 days, so there's still time to get in on it! Here's the link to that post if you want in on the contest:

Today's Learn-A-Word is an explanation of how two very similar sounding and looking words are actually different. Don't make the mistake of thinking that simplistic is just a fancier way of saying simple.

Simple is an adjective (describing word) that means easy or uncomplicated. Here is a sentence:

The house cleaning will be complete once I have finished the simple task of vacuuming the living room carpet .

Simplistic is a word used to describe something that is overly simple and doesn't grasp all the complexities of the situation. It's almost always used in a negative way. Here is a sentence:

The idea that a border wall will solve the complex problem of illegal immigration is a simplistic solution.

Please feel free to show me your sentences using these words, I'd love to see your creativity.

Hope to see you back tomorrow for another Learn-A-Word!
