Word For The Day, Wednesday, November 12, 2014-- scrutate
;In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
scrutate [SKRU-tayt]
verb, transitive
To investigate.
Origin: From Latin scrutari (to examine). Earliest documented use: 1882.
USAGE:
"Philosophers have too often thought that they can learn more about human nature by scrutating the murky depths of substance and faculties than by interpreting the obvious evidence." John Lachs; The Relevance of Philosophy to Life; Vanderbilt University Press; 1995.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
ha! beat you to it ; )
You DID. Great insight, as usual. I love this Pope.
I am off for a manicure. Ever since my surgery, I have been on iron. I refuse to go off it, as my nails are awesome. This past week, I must have had a dozen compliments on them. DH moans at the expense, but I am off in a few minutes for my visit with my nail boy. He does a great job.
Michael Jordan’s opinion is that he is not a good or even fair golfer.
nailboy! dang. is he Asian? all nail people in this area are Asian, regardless of their gender.
Because the motives of Democrats are inscrutable, all existing FedGov laws and FedGov programs should be subject to strict scrutiny. We must scrutate everything the federal government is doing to ensure that all federal interference with our lives serves a compelling government interest and is narrowly tailored to serve that interest by the least restrictive means possible. Otherwise, we are all so screwed.
xshub has said the same thing.
Yes, my daughter’s school has a “winter break.” It’s mindless political correctness. The “call a tail a leg” variety.
The Muslims don’t want mindless political correctness. They want you to bow down to their god.
Are some people Asian depending on their gender?
I've been on Iron before, too.
u r an @$$ : )
It probably took some courage for Michael Jordan to say that.
When schools or other organizations have “Winter Break”, “Spring Break”, etc., they are not bowing down to Allah.
They are bowing down to secularism, which is atheism in disguise!!!!
How’s the boy’s job? Did he realize yet that massive IT changes are always done over holidays and weekends?

Good article. Rush was just talking about how the mainstream media has totally ignored the story about Obamacare architech Gruber yukking it up about how they had to lie to get it passed, and how they had to count on the stupidity of the American citizen.
Meanwhile, when Gruber said they had to lie “to make it palatable,” he pronounced the last word as pa-LATE-able. So who is the real moron?
It’s difficult (but not impossible) for Gruber to deny he said what he said when they roll the videotape. The next refuge for scoundrels is to claim his words were “taken out of context.” Yeah, on multiple occasions.

Excellent use of similar words derived from the same root.
