On December 14, 2012, all four English 11 classes chose vex as their word of the week.
Vex means:
1. to irritate, annoy, or provoke;
2. to torment, trouble, distress, or plague;
3. to make someone feel annoyed, frustrated, or worried, especially with trivial matters.
Our classes came up with some creative sentences to demonstrate how to use the word vex correctly:
The rumors of the end of the world on 12/21/12 vex us.
Ms. B was vexed by students throwing things in her class.
Getting a lot of homework for the weekend vexes me.
Random noises vex Patrick.
