Today's WOTD is one of those words that you recognize from the phrase more than the actual word. For instance, Mary and I were doing our morning puzzles and she said something didn't look quite right on the screen. I noticed the laptop was partially on the blanket and I said, "Yeah, it's off kilter". That got me to thinking, I really didn't know if the word kilter was an actual word or not. Turns out it is:
Kilter -- proper or usual state or condition.
But no one ever really says: "That looks kilter". Do they? I don't at least. Pretty cool stuff for a Monday; at least for word guys like me.
