Today's words: it's not that easy

viridity \vuh-RID-ə-tee\ - 1a. the quality or state of being green  b. the color of grass or foliage  2. naïve innocence
Where is Kermit the Frog when I need him to sing. Oh, here he is! Actually, I don't think I'd ever actually heard this song before; I've always heard the expression as, "It ain't easy being green."
I recognized what this word might mean, though it's a new one for me; being only two letters off from "veridian" made it, well, pretty easy.
nitid \NIH-təd\ - bright, lustrous
I think I've seen this one, but couldn't remember it.
 stentorian \sten-TOR-ee-ən\ - very loud
This one, too. (This is how everyone is going to have to speak to me if I don't get hearing aids within a few years.)
