Please Add "Positivity" to the Dictionary!
On Behalf of Meniscus Magazine
The word "positivity" is an integral component of our philosophy here at Meniscus Magazine—but its not a recognized word in Merriam-Webster's dictionary! We think that should change.

 

Merriam-Webster,

Please add "Positivity"
to the Dictionary!!!

Love,
Meniscus

To Whom It May Concern:

After searching your online and bound book dictionaries, Meniscus Magazine has discovered that a very important word has been left out of your dictionaries. It appears that “positivity” is not recognized as a real word.

We would like to officially coin the “positivity” because it is most certainly a word. It is used often here at Meniscus Magazine. It is part of daily vocabulary for thousands of people. We at Meniscus Magazine have embraced the word as the essence of our philosophy: “Positivity through art”

Positivity can be defined as in many ways:
(v): Being, related to, or charged with the electricity of good cause.
e.g. He went into the room radiating positivity.
(n): A specific principle derived from nature, reflecting on the absence of negative characteristics.
e.g. Although the man was yelling at him, he did not get upset, but held on to his positivity.
(adj): a way to describe a person’s upbeat attitude and outlook on life
e.g. She is smart, funny, and has a lot of positivity.

For additional verification of the authenticity and usage of the word “positivity” please visit our website. www.meniscusmagazine.com We talk extensively about the power of positivity and how the entire world will be a better, safer, and more beautiful place once everyone starts implementing positivity in their daily lives.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Peace, love, music,
