The New Definition of.... IDEPENDENCE INDEPENDENCE

I find that the best way to learn the meaning of a word is by breaking it up into understandable sections. I suppose you could call it a form of dissecting. Since this is Independence Day, the word on trial for today is "Independence."

Independence: In - de - pen - dence

We have here 4 parts; in, de, pen, and dence. The first step is to translate two of these words: de, and dence. Let us say that "de" = the, and "dence" = dance. Now it says: In the pen dance. What does this mean? Simple! The Declaration that we remember on the 4th of July is the result of a pen (quill), dancing on a piece of paper.

Now you know what this day of celebration is about; it is about the ingenious pen dance that a group of founding Fathers came up with.
