It is time to learn a new word Sparkle Writers! Let’s get to it.
Splenetic, pronounced /splɪˈnɛtɪk/, means to be marked by bad temper, malevolence, or spite. In previous times it was a word used to describe melancholics.
Look at a few words that have the same meaning with splenetic; bad-tempered, ill-tempered, angry, wrathful, cross, peevish, petulant, pettish, irritable, irascible, cantankeous, choleric, dyspeptic, testy, tetchy.
We’d use this word in a few sentences and wait to read yours in the comments box.
These are our own examples.

See you next week when we bring another word!
