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. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of 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....
ineluctable \in-i-LUCK-tuh-bul\, adjective:
ineluctability; noun
ineluctably; adverb
1. Impossible to avoid or evade, inevitable.
2. Not to be overcome by struggling; irresistible.
Linnaeus' classification scheme became popular not because it captured some ineluctable truth about nature. Rather, by the botanist's own admission, the system divided species based more on intuition than science, much as an art historian might group paintings into schools.
--"Cultivating a New Tree," Los Angeles Times, September 25, 1999
Etymology: Latin ineluctabilis, from in- + eluctari to struggle clear of, from ex- + luctari to struggle, wrestle; akin to Latin luxus dislocated. Date: circa 1623

TOPICS: Education; Humor; Word For The Day

"In the afternoon, Author and Motivational Speaker, Ms. Mary Foley, will empower women to be successful in business and in life."Whenever I see the word "empower," I get totally turned off. Who put an "em" on my "power," anyway?

if i am not mistaken, and i can't swear i am not, he is divorced and may have been accused of abuse. i do know he is a former boxer and that he pummelled the kid that touched his car, but i am iffy on the marriage breakup facts.
