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”.

Coruscate

In. Verb

    1. To give forth flashes of light; sparkle and glitter: diamonds coruscating in the candlelight.
    2. To exhibit sparkling virtuosity: a flutist whose music coruscated throughout the concert hall.


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....
