Today, I bring you another set of doppelgangers.
Desperate Vs. Disparate
Desperate [des-per-it, -prit] (adj.):
1. Having an urgent need, desire.
2. Reckless, dangerous because of despair.
Example:
She was so desperate for his attention, she jumped in the pool with her clothes on just so he could glance one more time at her before he walked out of that door.
Disparate [dis-per-it, dih-spar-](adj.):
Distinct, dissimilar, essentially different.
Example:
Their personalities were so disparate, that everyone understood their attraction but nobody could comprehend how they managed to live under one roof.

Lookalikes — Desperate Vs. Disparate
Great post, got to remember to edit thoroughly as sometimes I type weirdly so Word likes to assume my words mean one thing when I meant something completely different (such as desperate becoming disparate) 😀
Taking the SAT soon, and these are fun to study 😉 Good to stock up on tricky vocab words!
Words, words, words! Don’t we just love them! I want to thank you for liking my post about hands on papermudandme.wordpress.com. I’ve been saying so much about books lately that I thought I’d better talk about something else for a change. – Thanks again and Aloha – pjs.
Good idea! Diversification is good 🙂 Thank you for commenting.
I think bloggers are disparate. I love new words. I am going to tell my family I want my disparate papers.
Let more of these come, young lady! Nice to see some English lessons on my WordPress Reader!
Thank you! I’ll do my best 🙂
Excellent, I love the way you share these different words, thank you!
