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....

You were divided into three because you had three sentences. Just think of a pie or something like that.
Where's the subbie's Scotch to bring your grade up?
I used to read him, but a few years ago, one of his books really scared me so I ran away..can't remember which it was. I'm reading Brad Meltzer right now.
Not stoopid at all!

Cyber told me last night that Monica's dress was in the Smithsonian. I asked him if it had at least been dry cleaned. He told me it hadn't. Ewwwwwwwwww.
I don't like scary movies at all unless they are very poorly acted. Then they crack me up.

Now your grade is A++++. I guess our FAX machines are compatible.
