One Word, Three Ways: Bat

Meet Word Nerd! He loves nothing more than finding a word he can use in different ways. This time his word is: Bat 

From the October/November 2021 Issue

Did you know that bat can mean “a furry animal that has wings,” “to hit something, often by swinging at it,” or “a long rounded stick used in baseball and softball”?

 Watch Word Nerd use all three ways!
