New Word

     New words are a fun thing, they are like new windows into our very own world. It makes our language and culture just that more exciting. I decided I would chose a word for the challenge today that I hear all the time, watching my slew of crime shows. The word is ascertain. It means to discover new information. I think that's a very cool word because it is not only "ascertaining new case information" but also just accessing new knowledge in general, such as when we're in school. We, as humans, have that ability to ascertain any information we want as long as we have the drive and motivation.
