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....

I'm off to a big meeting, but Buffy, by all accounts, is finally going back to funny this year, like the first and especially second seasons. Which was pretty much the redeeming value of the show in the first place.
