Cruising: a rant.

I love the holiday brochure season.

I have a leaflet here from Hurtigruten Cruises bearing a photograph of a small cruise liner nosing its way through the waters of an impressively sparkling mountain-lined fjord.

The headline?

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Norway

I can't honestly say it inspires confidence.

Word To Use Today: immerse. This word comes from the Latin mergere, to dip.
