Word For The Day, Monday, 11/16/15
;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".
hortatory; adj.
urging to some course of conduct or action; exhorting; encouraging: a hortatory speech. Examples: He had assumed a very pompous, hortatory manner, and I could well believe he held a prominent position in Asbury class.
Stories by American Authors, Volume 6 Various
Allowing for its standpoint the book is not virulent, and is a respectable piece of hortatory divinity on its own side.

(and is moreover axiomatic rather than hortatory), I use it partly for her sake, and partly because it is undeniable.
Records of Later Life Frances Ann Kemble
Etymology: 1580s, from Middle French hortatoire and directly from Late Latin hortatorius "encouraging, cheering," from hortatus, past participle of hortari "exhort, encourage, urge, incite, instigate," intensive of horiri "urge, incite, encourage," from PIE root *gher- "to like, want" (cf. Old English giernan "to strive, desire, yearn;" Gothic gairnei "desire;" Greek khresthai "to lack, want; use, make use of," kharis "grace, favor," khairein "to rejoice, delight in;" Sanskrit haryati "finds pleasure, likes," harsate "is aroused;" Avestan zara "effort, aim;" Russian zhariti "awake desire, charm").
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.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
oh, well.....Annabelle was walking in and I just hit post.
they decided they didn’t want a choir any more?
Yes, against the Browns. This is how it is to be a Browns fan. Consider this sequence:
Manziel scrambles and runs about 25 yards for an apparent TD.
But, no, he was a couple inches short.
They scored on the next play on an end around.
But, no, they only scored cause of a hold.
Then they get called for an illegal formation.
Then they get sacked.
then they throw an interception.
yikes!
This is the most undisciplined sloppy team I have ever seen play. They need to clean house, management and coaching. Manziel is growing into the role I’d keep him, but that’s about it.
Anyways, let’s hope they just don’t blow getting the first draft pick now.
Frankly if they moved the team to Los Angeles, I wouldn’t care at this point.
LOL!
got that last week, just love Jonah! A+++
Somehow I deleted my history containing the article I wanted to post instead. I have 2 sickies home with me today and an errand list taller than me.
Good morning.
Spock found a bunch of horta in the hortatory.
Ok, I’ll go and sit in the corner...where is the Thermos?
5.56mm
A+++ nice to see your smiling face!
oh no, not sickies! hope they feel better!
A+++ for the visual!
Ya know, I have been posting without reading the thread since 1998. Well, I went back to read the thread, and dagnabbit, there was a Spock picture with the Horta.
I thought I was being so original...
Where's the Thermos?
5.56mm
beat you to FR by about 6 weeks ; ) Pretty sure Neo took the thermos home with him and never brought it back...
Made jello for one and got several kinds of soup and flavored waters for the other. Raining here on and off.
gorgeous day in the 60s here, it is IMPOSSIBLE to tell from one day to next what to wear bc of the weather changing constantly.
