Today, whilst speaking to women business leaders, President Bush revealed the latest Bushism. He said that he was "gladened" by the progress we are making.
I expect to see this included in the word of the day threads.

It really is a real word - have you never heard it before? It's kinda archaic, I suppose, but it's a great word. "Her heart was gladdened by the news" - very poetic word. I intend, now, to use it at least three times today.

See, this is the sort of thing that happens when people start making fun of Bush's strategery.
You make subliminable mistooks.

It's a great word, innit?

I've heard that word used. It's real. And it wouldn't call it archaic.

>>"Bright eyes gladden the heart.." Prov. 15:30a
And shouldn't it gladden the hearts of us all, to have this confirmation of the hours he spends with that Book?
