The <em>denotation<\/em> (dictionary definition) is the flavor (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry). The <em>connotation<\/em> is like the toppings! Sprinkles make it fun and positive, while something yucky like broccoli would make it negative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-fixed-layout\" style=\"color:#000060\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Positive Connotation<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Words with a positive connotation make you feel good!
