Word For The Day, Monday, 6/29/09



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".

adamantine; adj.

1. utterly unyielding or firm in attitude or opinion. Unyielding; inflexible: "If there is one dominant trait that emerges from this account, it is adamantine willpower" (Eugene Linden). 2. too hard to cut, break, or pierce. 3. like a diamond in luster.

Etymology:1200–1250; ME < L adamantinus < Gk adamántinos. See adamant, -ine 1

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....

That’s a nice temperature. For May.

Friday, when I plan on blowing up things in the backyard, is supposed to be 78 and sunny.

The adamantine global warming algorists are slowly being exposed as the crackpots they are. But will the truth get out fast enough to make a difference?

I do a lot of shopping on-line...since we live in the unincorporated part of the county, our sales tax is lower.
