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....

well i believe God is calling him home at this point. he has been great. i saw him in DC when he was here years and years and years ago. what a wonderful man he is. He deserves his rest, he has done so much.
and A++++ by the way.
you are truly an APRIL fool aren't ya?
Chewing tobacco? What would a water fountain in a Western Pennsylvania high school be without it? I thought it was there so the aroma enhanced the water-drinking experience!

It is reported that President Bush will withdraw from the Outer Space Treaty and we Lunartics are not in the least lachrymose!
