Word For The Day, Monday, 9/16/13
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".
Abjure; verb
1. to renounce, repudiate, or retract, especially with formal solemnity; recant: to abjure one's errors. 2. to renounce or give up under oath; forswear: to abjure allegiance. 3. to avoid or shun

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Even the unions abjure obamacare, but still we are marching towards that cliff.
