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".
usufruct (YOO-zuh-fruhkt, -suh-) noun
The right to use and enjoy another's property without destroying it. .
Example sentence:
"It is currently in the process of purchasing perpetual usufruct rights to a number of plots."
--Budlex Prepares for Large Residential Project; Warsaw Business Journal (Poland); Jan 17, 2011.
Etymology:
From Latin ususfructus, from usus et fructus (use and enjoyment). Earliest documented use: 1646.
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....

just want to say a quick hello to all the wordsmiths who visit daily. I try to stop at thread to see what is what but my life has been a bit hectic the past half year.
Thanks for keeping me on the ping list even though I am a slacker!

Is it possible to teach this concept to our children?

A Kenyan stole our country, claiming usufruct
The liberals all loved him, even though he sucked
If he’s not on the shelf
After two thousand twelve
Then, Tony Soprano warns, “You’se are frucked”

When I got up this morning she told me we’re not doing any of that again. I guess sometimes usufruct that you forget to take things one step at a time. tequila does that to me.

The very concept of
