### In the lessons

In everyday life it describes a spotless room, uniform or car, or a perfect piece of work. In sport and music, an immaculate performance has no errors. In church lessons it appears in the Catholic feast of the Immaculate Conception (8 December). Phrases: immaculately dressed, in immaculate condition, immaculate handwriting.

### Note

Spelling: double m, one c at the start, «-late» at the end: i-m-m-a-c-u-l-a-t-e. A common confusion: the «Immaculate Conception» is about Mary being free from sin, not about the birth of Jesus (that is the «Virgin Birth»).
