Word ja voooo...!!! Very Scary Experience

hi gagavegeta, I have to admit A I don't ever recall hearing this word, But you should realize knowledge is power, you learn a new word and thats great..But what I can't understand is why you elected to connect the word with scary..its just the word,,accept your growing vocabulary and move on,,,lol

Well, although I absolutely did not know the meaning of that word (I still look on the internet!), And whatever that might mean, what you do not understand is why, this time you was so scared! I could understand that if your friend Mylotters had written something blasphemous! In this case I would obviously agree with you. But how can you be scared only by the word "Diktat"? PS: Anyway, now I'm going to immediately look up the meaning on the net!

I have never heard of the word ,it sounds like it might be made up or originate from another word.Looks like we will all find out soon.

I can safely say I have never heard this word before in my life, but now I am worried after reading your discussion I will now see it everywhere myself lol!

Hi garavegeta,it was me who had used the word while having an exchange of comments on one of your posts.I had come across the word when I was going through an article by the famous economist Gurumurthy on FDI [Foreign Direct Investment] in a newspaper.I too thought the word was wrongly spelled.So I consulted the dictionary and found that the writer was right.Actually it is 'dictate',which means 'saying someone what he should or can do or should not or cannot do.''Diktat' means what you are dictating to someone.A diktat is like an order that is supposed to be carried out.

Hey garavegeta! What's happening to you is very much normal. I can tell you that you had been hearing this word even before you read it at your friends' post but only then you were not aware of it and it didn't seem important. Then when you read it at your friends' post, you got curious and searched for its meaning. Well, since the word itself is unusual to you, your mind/brain is still wondering about it trying to make associations and therefore making it easy for you to hear it whenever mentioned. This word is not following to you, it's you who is thinking about it and therefore attracting it. Whatever you think about repeatedly, you bring about. Thoughts have power. You might say you haven't given much thought to this word, but then how mysterious the brain works, it could have made a connection btn this word and your most repeated thoughts and therefore making this word important to you without any of your effort. Not watching tv is not gonna make it go away, if you are still thinking about it.

Sure, but I too was unfamiliar with that word. Things do seem to happen in cycles, though, and it should not be scary.

I notice this phenomenon in my life all the time. It never fails that I will never see a certain type of car until I buy one myself. So if I buy a small white pickup truck soon every body else in town will be driving small white pickup trucks.

I have a special relation with words as I´m a writer in my native language. And all the time I have that experience. Each time I learn a new word (and it seems to me that it must be very rare as I had never heard of it before), from then on I keep hearing and reading it and it eems everyone know it from the cradle, exept by myself. All this is in pàrt because you understand a sentence not word by word but grasp a meaning.
