Tips To Keep You From Sounding Stupid

Here is today's tip to keep you from sounding like a moron: Learn the difference between "healthy" and "healthful." The word "healthy" means "having health" while "healthful" means "serving to promote health." When talking about a meal or diet, for example, you should use "healthful." A healthy meal would be one that is still alive, and while that would certainly make dinner time more interesting, it is probably not what you mean.
