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".
illation [ih LAY shun]
noun
An illation is the act of inferring from data or the resulting inference or conclusion drawn.
Illation introduces a conclusion from what has gone before. Illation is an opinion based on observation.
Sometimes the simplest words reveal the deepest truth. We are beset with illations widely perceived to be Fake. But are they really? If the purveyors of Fake News are basing their conclusions/opinions on what they perceive to be reasonable cause, their conclusions are valid, even if they are based on misunderstanding or distortion.
We are faced, not so much with deliberate lies as with viewpoints in fundamental conflict with our own. This is not an intellectual exercise. It is a conflict of world views.
Today’s exercise is to find illations among Democrats that are based on perceptions of reality incompatible with our own.
Everyone has one and they all stink.
ILLATION: That loving feeling you get when you’re afflicted with Munchausen syndrome.
My illation of Illinois is that they are inundated by the illusion that they are somehow going to improve their instability.
HA I believe they just used that same word in the unabomber series on TV tonight- they were drawing a conclusion based on his consistent use of old spelling such as ‘fulness’ instead of ‘fullness’
Today’s democrats-socialists-communist-racist have given us an illnation illuminated only by their bias and propaganda.
!
I usually get my illations after my libations.
I once dated Illation’s cousin, Titillation. Chris Matthew’s thrill up his leg was nothing compared to her.
Kim Jong Un got his job by relation
First Grandpa, then Dad, led his nation
They blackmailed the West
And learned it worked best
So he’s using that same old illation
How noisily graphic of you. Yes, indeed they do, all of them.
Rather the obverse, I perceive. A behavior based on consequences, not causes.
Quite so. They will get more of what they seek to avoid because they deny the cause of their malignancy.
I have noticed numerous instances of widely diverse use of our WFTD following posting. A perfect illustration of “illation.”
Well libate away, my precious. Your illations always create sensations.
No doubt the addition of a tit increases sensation.
Yes. Perfect.
The wild card is the wild man, DJT. That changes everything. The fat boy will not get what his fore-bearers got from men of greater restraint and a penchant for cowardice. This time the madness will end. FREE THE NORKS.
And i thank you for you affirmations! ;-)
