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....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Teacher's note:

Today we will be playing a little game. As you can see, the forms of the WFTD are given in the order of ADJECTIVE, NOUN, and last, ADVERB. You must carefully watch what the student ahead of you turns in for his/her homework, because you will be required to use the form following that which was previously used. For example, if he or she uses the noun form, you must use the adverb form. If the adverb form is used, the next student's homework must contain the adjective form. Points WILL be subtracted for failure to follow along. This little game will give you all the opportunity to learn from each other by scanning other student's homework. Do not disappoint Mistress Bella. You know how cranky she is on Mondays.

Hey xsuneichpup knows all about DR. xs's yen for elective surgery.

[Bella_Bru]

Sorry, Alex had to fill in for me. I see he did a rather slipshod job....

Did you all enjoy this morning's game? It was more about getting you to see how other's use the WFTD.

[CholeraJoe]

Maybe I should be allowed to practice Law with my A+ in Business Law.

My good buddy Bob makes the best eggnog. No matter how many times he gives us the recipe, it just has that "jenna say quah" when he puts it together.

Last year, I tried making those roll-up lekvar cookies for Christmas, but just can't seem to do it as well as those Polish and Hungarian ladies.

Practice makes perfect, they say.

[camle]

well... my waffles are legendary. and I used to make them all the time, however I have been rather busy of late, and as a result, rusty.

tried over the weekend to ressurect my prowess as waffle maker extrordinaire, failed miserably. first one refused to let go of the iron, and came out in many small pieces...

[Argh]

Congratulations! I don't want it, er, her.

[TheGrimReaper]

I'd have to examine the "P" much more closely.

[camle]

oh well, it's yours if you want... if you drink enuf....

[camle]

you're a "P" examiner?

[TheGrimReaper]

In this particular case, I'd be willing to take a closer look at the P.
