Setting Goals that are 'realistic'

I'm new at this, so I'll start slowly:


Goal #1:

Accurately, Eloquently and Intellectually use the term contradistinction in a dialogue, without acknowledging (overtly or implicitly) how fucking cool
that word is (in itself and its utility)

Contradistinction is contra-, from Latin contra,
"against" +
distinction,

from Latin distinctio, from distinguere, "to distinguish."

In my own conceptual framework: it is the lovely union of compare& contrast, where a comparison implies emphasis on similarities, without undermining the relevance of contrasting components, which procure the defining terms.
