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

"Actions have consequences, and everyone should be aware of that particular little rule."

Very, very good rant, Miss Rika. And John Huang's article is right on target.

Homework:

Conservative observers often wonder if either Reno or Hillary are simply inelicktable by men (and other normal members of the human race), or simply ineluctable by anyone who is not simple-minded emotionally-driven fool being pandered by the liberal media?

[NeoCaveman]

Wow, THAT is a bad rug. Atleast Jim Traf's is the right color.
