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....
Final Exam
As promised, today we will be having the final exam of the semester. Below I have linked 40 past WFTDs. The exam is simple. You must use 5 of the words, in however many sentences you like, that somehow relate to the news. The minimum is 5, and for using the minimum, you will get an average grade of a C. Use more, your grade goes up. Use less, it goes down. Fail to turn in your exam, and I will submit your name to Principal Rob for a counseling session.
Here we go:
1. farrago
2. abditive
3. indolent
4. froward
5. ken
6. risible
7. hariolate
8. anhedonia
9. retronym
10. calumny
11. prepone
12. pedantic
13. incommode

Not being a big football fan, I'll have to take your word for it. A+++. Not as good as white rose's. Plus, I had to threaten you to get it (too busy talking about football when you should have been working). And you still need to turn in homework next week.
