Rules:Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in someway, relate to the news of the day.

Advice is given in many ways. Sometimes by imperious edict, sometimes by threat, sometimes by the sweet voice of reason. Always do we exhort others to do that to which we most aspire.
The hortative blandishments of a Trump tweet are gentle rain as compared to the dhimmitudinal brandishments of an Obama threat.

The poster may seem prescriptive regarding the use of the Word of the Day but I consider her to be hortative.

The Latin teacher gave a repeated and explicit hortative, that we are to learn the hortatory subjunctive.

Despite daily hortative remarks from all sides, President Trump continues to use Twitter in his own unique way.

Well, in the interest of raising the level of discourse.
“I don’t think Steve should have taken that prostitute to the local CBS affiliate. It’s just no right to take a hortative station.”

I thought at first, this word Id never heard, might have something to do with the study of time.

Old news

Gallons of whiskey rotted
the old crooked windbag
Hardly a muscle left to flog her
admirers with another hortative hoot

You can lead a horta TI VE
But Megyn Kelly already has the job.
Too much? Out of order? Sorry I couldn't resist...

To: Louis Foxwell
Despite X1STCAVs hortative pleas for proceed more slowly, Sam forged ahead, hortatively, so to speak.

While Id prefer a more fiscal conservative
Trumps first year was still superlative
Turn down the heat
With fewer tweets
Is my best considered hortative

Ashley Judd’s speech about being a “nasty woman” was (w)hortative in more ways than one.

No one takes the
hortative missives of the Mohammedan Mayor seriously.

Horology (via Latin horologium from Greek ὡρολόγιον, from ὥρα hṓra "hour; time" and -o- interfix and suffix -logy; literally "the study of time")[1][2] is the art and/or science of measuring time.
I guess I listened to too much S-Town over the summer.
To: Louis Foxwell
It is overcast and 41-since outdoor work is not an option, I’m working indoors finishing and printing invoices to be collected by Friday-
Many of pres Trump’s comments
Are just given as hortative advice
But they give liberals the vapors
And they whine that he isn’t nice
They must have forgotten about
The insults of Obama-their “god”
As they have their little tantrums
And get their panties all in a wad
From saying police acted stupidly
To giving Ferguson rioters a pass-
Everyone knows payback is a bitch-
Especially when it burns their ass...
