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".

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. ;-)

In our wide-ranging interview, Sidney Crosby discussed the difficulties of keeping his secret, the reaction of his team-mates, and working with Pens coach Dan Byslma. “I love Dan as a coach, and he’s been nothing but supportive.” he said. “But his fashion sense? Oh my God, it’s just tragic.”
Paula and i were roaring over this website yesterday, with the sexy Sasha pix etc. So she texted me today about the Sid piece. i was howling aloud reading it. Gay men are funnier/more clever than most women.
