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....
animadversion \an-uh-mad-VUR-zhun\, noun:
1. Harsh criticism or disapproval.
2. Remarks by way of criticism and usually of censure; adverse criticism; reproof; blame.
Etymology: Animadversion is from Latin animadversio, animadversion-, from animadversus, past participle of animadverto, animadvertere, to turn the mind toward, from animus, mind, spirit + adverto, advertere, to turn toward, from ad, toward + verto, vertere, to turn.

Loney got it all. Herod tried to get Jesus, in Exodus, it was Pharaoh trying to get moses.

What bugged me was that there was no one else on the road, they could have easily gone around me, and was actually doing over the speed limit - something I rarely do.

As much as I detest Algore, this reference actually made sense. That means that neither he nor Donna Brazil wrote it.
