I encountered this word when I was doing my assignment on annotating bibliography. (Source 2) This word is located at the first paragraph which it made me catch my attention, where I thought it was some kind of religious name. After I searched it on Merriam1Webster dictionary, I couldn’t believe that it meant, into the middle of (something). It is surprising that I have never heard of this word before. I am just wondering where in my conversation that I am going to use this type of word.

I found this word in reading excerpt: “The Happiest and Saddest Places in New York City, According to Twitter”by Ben Merchant. This word can be found in the sentence ” For insance, three cemeteries—Palisades, Weehawken, and Holy Cross—attracted among the strongest Twitter sentiment on the list.” Sentiment can also be mood, when you describe about your feeling you can use either mood or sentiment, no difference.
noun(plural form of anomaly)
something that is unusual or unexpected : something anomalous

When I came across this word in the reading excerpt “The Happiest and Saddest Places in New York City, According to Twitter” by Ben Merchant, it was misspelled so I provided the right word. This word can be found in the sentence ” There are some strange anomalies in the study, too”. In the passage before this sentence researchers claimed that hospitals and prisons had some of the most negative tweets. The passage after the sentence explains that researchers found 3 cemeteries which attracted among the strongest Twitter sentiment on the list. While two cemeteries received many negative tweets, the third cemetery had many positive tweets. Researchers were unable to determine why that might be. By that being said I can see how the results were anomalous.
noun
a person who does not like other people

I’ve come across this word in the reading excerpt “The Happiest and Saddest Places in New York City, According to Twitter” by Ben Merchant. This word can be found in the sentence “Having been to just about all of the above, I can attest that each is capable of turning the gentlest romantic into a misanthrope”. When reading this sentence I inferred that misanthrope was going to involve hate since hate is definitely opposite from “the gentlest romantic”. This sentence came after a list of transportation hot spots. Before this list transportation spots was known to make people frustrated.
