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 WFTD’s. 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.

You did an excellent job, lds23. A well deserved A++++!
Happy New Year, and an A++!
The abditive agenda of anti-smoker zealots is causing major unintended consequences. What used to be a farrago of business owners and smokers, is turning into a cohesive group of opponents.
My personal hariolate for 2003 in regard to the Delaware smoker ban is the outcry from suffering business owners will prove to be such a political incommode, it will shortly be flushed down the nearest commode.
There is no doubt among those in the ken that the promulgation of this bogus law was caused totally by the anhedonia of the anti smokers.
But there can be no doubt the cause of the bilbous bravo sierra of Mr. Charles of the Delaware Health Department must be imbibing produced.
Mr. Charles said the success of the smoking ban could be measured in its compliance rate.
There is no one iota of calumny when smokers scream about the abject calumny being espoused by the anti-smkers.
Yeah, but twenty minutes later, you want to do it again.
Now, xs.....please explain why you were being mean to poor Eala?
Please, Miss Bru, Eala's not poor for being called names. It's "poor Eala" because Eala's headed to the airport once again, for the very last trip (I swear it) of the year!!
OK. He's been in four movies. He played an 1800's male prostitute in the first, a dumba$$ who fell out of a helicopter in the second, and a fairy in tights in the other two. Not exactly a manly resume.
Hasn't hurt David Schwimmer or Leonardo DiCaprio.
