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.

They broke their own hearts. He played one of Oscar Wilde's lovers for pete's sake.
YeeeeHAAAAAA!!! This may involve probing. I'll play doctor.
After a farrego of poor efforts, Coach Herman Edwards revealed his abditive trick up his sleeve. The previously indolent JETS offense, renounced their frowardly ways, and under the grand ken of Chad Pennington, the formerly risible team began to hariolate a sense of possibility,now the teams performance had inspired only anhedonia at this point, but young Chads ability reduced "Same Old Jets" to a retronym in spite of the tired, old Periaptetic, pedantic sportswriters whose calumnies had turned out to be preponements, but failed to be an incommode to the rising Quarterbacks operose efforts, in his tergiversation of the pasts December meltdowns, making JETS fans bibulous at the teams brio even though the Conventional ukase going into yesterdays showdown, was atrabilious painting the young would be gunslinger as a mere dilettante going up against the Three Time League MVP . Young Chad let them promulgate their scat, letting their predicted ignominy inspire him to be insouciantly munificent in putting points on the board in out playing Brett Fave,and showing how truly sapient he is, he engaged in no footle in making the Packers look flaccid, retiring from the field yesterday, basking in the encomium that being a first season Division Champion Brings.
