Word For The Day, Monday, 3/8/10
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".
feckless; adj.
1. ineffective; incompetent; futile: feckless attempts to repair the plumbing. 2. having no sense of responsibility; indifferent; lazy.
Lacking purpose or vitality; feeble or ineffective.
Careless and irresponsible.
Etymology: 1590s, from feck, "effect, value, vigor" (late 15c.), Scottish shortened form of effect; popularized by Carlyle, who left its opposite, feckful, in dialectal obscurity.
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.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
OMG, will these feckless whistle stop Obam appearances EVER STOP??????

she can open her eyes and stare, but they have to lubricate them for her. she can hear and move her head in response. she cannot move her hands yet, or squeeeze my hand. she seems to be aware of where she is, and who I am.
that’s infinitly more than two weeks ago when the doc gave me one of those middle of the night “you’s better get down here fast” calls.
