Periods 1 & 7 Word of the Week: idiosyncrasy

Periods 1 and 7 both selected idiosyncrasy as our first word of the week.  We looked up the definition in two different online dictionaries, and the definition found in period 7 was more concise, so I will use it here:

Idiosyncrasy: "1) an unusual way in which a particular person behaves or thinks, or 2) an unusual part or feature of something."

The sentences we created to demonstrate our understanding of the word are:

Period 1: Addiction to fame is an idiosyncrasy shared by many celebrities.
Period 7: Harry Potter's idiosyncrasy is that he can talk to snakes.
