Enervate: cause someone to feel drained of energy or vitality: weaken
Innervate: supply an organ or other body part with nerves
Agree.
I think @bibliophage was speaking to a common usage by news media where “reputed” is not quite synonmous with “alleged”, but is meant as a weasel word to say “we’re not quite offering a conclusion, but we’re tiptoeing riiiight up to the line”.
The difference between the two being that “alleged” almost always has a strong whiff of pejorative (e.g. “alleged criminal”) , while “reputed” is neutral-ish. (e.g. “reputed charity donor”).
That might usage of “reputed” might not be the first / primary one in the dictionary, but is probably the one we all most commonly encounter. So first in quantity.
I disagree about the neutral-ish - the most common usage of “reputed” I see by far is something like “reputed crime boss” or “reputed gang leader”
Yeah, I disagree with this too.
Alleged is reporting an allegation - always something illegal or wrong, not just a “whiff” of being pejorative, explicitly so.
Reputed is reporting on reputation - which can be something positive or negative, but never value-neutral. Regarding the examples given, “reputed charity donor”, “reputed crime boss” - yes, these are both value judgments about reputation. But “reputed university” sounds very odd in my dialect, I would never say that.
disparate: composed of inherently different or distinct elements; utterly unlike
desperate: beyond hope; in dire need of something
I confused “execrate” with “extricate” on the English Regents.
I occasionally come across confusions between ancestors and descendants…
laying (as in “was laying”), past continuous tense of the transitive verb lay (to put something down - but which is also the simple past tense of the intransitive verb lie: to recline or rest)
lying (as in “was lying”), past continuous tense of lie (not only as =to recline, but also the unrelated =to tell an untruth)
lain: (as in “have lain”), past perfect tense of the intransitive verb lie
laid: past tenses of the transitive verb lay
Don’t forget the future pluperfect tense scrod.
Ah, that would be outwith my remit.
plumb: vertical; in a vertical direction; a lead weight that indicates a vertical direction
plum: a delicious stone fruit
don’t eat lead…
Plumb: to install water pipes.
The word coming from when such pipes were made of lead. 
That’s plumb crazy!
The vertical-indicating weight is properly called a “plumb bob” - and while they may have been made of lead in the past (and no doubt derive their name from that material), the ones I’ve worked with have all been made of steel.
tocsin: alarm bell
toxin: poison
graceful: full of grace; possessed of pleasing or attractive qualities; elegant in form, proportions, movement, expression, or action
gracious: enjoying grace or favour; having pleasing qualities; exhibiting kindness or courtesy [these words seem pretty similar]
gracile: slender, thin, lean
Gracie: George Burns’ wife/comedy partner
