Hi everyone,
I taught Leydibell the word EPICUREAN, but had her use it with city, which is wrong - so please read below what the definition is and know that it is not used with nouns like city, rather with nouns like people. You can look it up in the COCA to check if you're interested.
Hope you're keeping warm and dry - Denise
